Copying files to "fonts" special folders

[kellygirl01]

Hi All,

Need a vbscript that can copy files to "fonts" special folder in Windows XP.

I created a script but it will only add the file when i log in as admin not the user.

Help?!!!

Here's the script i have.

Const OverwriteExisting = TRUE

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.CopyFile "\\Server\folder\file.ttf Barcode.TTF" , "C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\", OverwriteExisting

does the user have rights to the destination folder?

Yes, but he doesn't have write or modify.

not really sure how startup scripts work in Windows.
is it possible to have a script run under the system service account? is it possible to have a service which runs as a system account start this script for you?
how do you normally install software which requires elevated permissions? something like SMS?
perhaps you can package this change up as an MSI install, i heard that MSI can install with elevated priv..

The script will be added to our domain policies

 

[mrmovie]

can you run domain policies, or are they GPO's with elevated priv? i would hope so...

Yes i can run domain policies.The highest level startup script.

Weird that it doesn't take effect with the fonts folder.

I have the same script with a folder in program files and i have no problem. Same permissions on folder as well.
