Hi Guys,

I have been landed with tweaking a RIS deployed Vista build, and I want to copy some files to the machine at the post install phase.

I think I have figured out how to add the files by adding them to the postinstall phase in the Advanced properties of the SMS package.

From my script that runs and does various build tweaks in the post install phase I want to copy the user picture I added to the list of files above to the appropriate directory on the local machine. 

Now this was easy in LiteTouch as I knew the drive letter that was mapped (z:).

How does ZeroTouch call the scripts and files listed in the Postinstall phase? Do they get copied locally to the machine e.g. C:\MININT dir or are they called from the deployment point? I tried using various variables but without knowing what they resolve to I am a bit stuck!

Thanks for any help,

Barry

Just noticed the scripts are in the Validation phase, though the script does run OK and do other build customisations. Could this be a possible issue?
