Copying a file to the Public Desktop via a TS

[P@docIT]

Can someone tell me how to run an elevated command prompt via a TS? I have one TS that copies a folder down from the DP to C:, I then want to copy a shortcut from that folder to the public desktop. When I try this manually I get prompted by UAC to grant admin privileges or I can do it via CMD but it has to be an elevated CMD prompt in order to not get the UAC prompt. Is there a way to tell SCCM to run elevated? I see you can run the TS as a specific user, however my account has local admin rights and I still get the UAC prompt.

 

Thanks,

Mike

 

 

Edit: Updated info: Below is the error from the log. Maybe not an elevation problem. It says it can't find the file specified however, I see that the folder was successfully copied to C: (second quote below)

I think i may have figured out the problem. I have the file listed with .url extension however when I show extensions for known files the file still has no extension. The properties show Internet Shortcut (.url) which is why I assumed that there was an extension. Going to test without and will post back.

 

Thanks.

Mike

 

Edit: Well I tried manually with an elevated prompt using the .url ext and it copied fine. So I'm not sure why or what file it can't find.

Hi,

 

looks like u were trying to call the copy without "cmd /c". copy is a cmd command and no executable.

Ohhhhh. I totally misinterpreted how the "run command line" TS worked. I assumed by choosing that option it ran as if I had opened CMD and typed the "command line". Therefore only needing to supply what I would manually type in a command window. Will try again with the cmd /c. Thanks.
