Question : Cannot copy shortcut to desktops

Hi,

I have been trying to run a script that should copy a shortcut from a server share to a user's desktop.  I am just trying to get the script to work, but that is not happening.

Script:  

@ECHO OFF
copy  /y "\\server\share$\shortcut" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\"
pause

Every time I try and run this from a target workstation, while logged in as a local admin, I get the following message in the command prompt.

The system cannot find the file specified.
Press any key to continue . . .

I can browse to the share and shortcut via UNC path.  Why can't the script find the file if it is plainly there?  I haven't even got to trying top deploy the script yet.

Thanks!

Try this batch file:

i.e.
@ECHO OFF
copy  /Y "\\server\share$\shortcutname.*" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop"
pause
