Problems with a custom tool

[Guest]

I am having a problem with a custom tool that is simply supposed to rollout a reg key (the next command will run psexec and regedit remotely to apply the key.
Here is the command:
cmd /c & copy C:\temp\WLBS\NovellWLBS.reg \\%E%\c$\ & pause
When I run it from a DOS prompt replacing %E% with a server name. I tried %S% as well, but that didn't help. The file never arrives at the target machine, rights would be the same between command prompt manual run and the Custom Tool. Any thoughts?

Remove the first & sign and change it to:

cmd /c copy C:\temp\WLBS\NovellWLBS.reg \\%E%\c$\ & pause

See what that does.

That worked. Thanks for your help, so I don't need to chain the cmd for commands?

Re: Problems with a custom tool

Not right after the cmd /c the way you had it. That sets up the DOS environment to run the commands following it. You can then chain commands in that environment, like you have with the &pause.
