I have several in house databases which have access 2003 front ends, either adp or ade files. I need to copy these from my server to every client machine.

In the past I have used a rollout scripts to copy the files to the all users desktop folder. I have since adapted this to also copy files to the public desktop folder since we started having windows 7 client machines as well as XP.

The problem is that some of the time these scripts don't work for windows 7.

Is there a better way of copying these files to a mix of windows 7 and XP clients or is using rollout scripts the best way?

It really makes no difference whether they're Access front ends or any other kind of file, the process is exactly the same. Just create a batch file, or whatever kind of script you prefer, and fire that off from the logon script if the destination is in the user space or a machine startup script otherwise.

Years after I first encountered this problem I finally have a solution.

My script was running as a computer startup script in Group Policy moving it to be a user logon script fixed it. No idea why I didn't try this before.
