I am useless at scripts but need someone to help me out. I need a script to run in a GPO on computer start up. I need it to check for a file in systems 32, ie, c:\windows\system32\file.dll. If it exists i need the script to rename the file to oldfile.dll. Then the script needs to copy a new file.dll to the same location from a folder on the server.
If you did that wouldn't it always find it, rename it, and copy one from the server? It would become a loop that on every logon it would do it. Perhaps you should check the file version instead and apply your logic against that.
This should work as a logon script, just change the tFile and sFile paths. I made the replace action a function so you could call it mutiple times in case you have more than one file you need to keep up to date this way.
I need it to check if a file path exists ie: c:\windows\system32\foldera (there will be files in foldera but this is not important its the fiel path that is)
if it does not i need it to run a .exe file form the server IE: \\servername\path\software.exe.
