Re: Copying Master Home Directory

I believe you'll need to use %3 instead of %username%.

If you add the following to the top of your batch file you can see what each variable equates to:

echo 1=%1
echo 2=%2
echo 3=%3
echo 4=%4
echo 5=%5
echo 6=%6
echo 7=%7
echo 8=%8

Try putting it in the root of c:, and enter in c:\file.bat. This way we know it finds it. Add PAUSE at the end of your batch file so it will pause execution to make sure you aren't getting any errors when it runs. And finally, go to Tools->Settings->User and check the box to Show Batch File Command Windows.

OK thats what I figured...the template works fine, however I get an error that it is unable to execute the batch file.

I copied the batch file to the hyena directory, is this the wrong place for it?

Re: Copying Master Home Directory

You can use Home Directory Templates under Tools->Settings->Home Dir to configure the way you want the directory and share created. To copy files to that directory, you can setup a batch file for this and enter the path to that file in the After creating home directory, run: box at the bottom of the template.

Is it possible to automatically create and copy contents of a Master Home directoy to new users?
