User Profile Change using Application

[Markus]

Hi folks, i created a script which does some changes to network drives and users' document libraries for their profile.

The script works, but the detection rule seems not to run in the users context, which is plain stupid since it does not detect my changes and is a requirement!

I tried to use a simple detection vbscript:

 

wscript.sleep 1000

wscript.quit (0)

 

but it still fails. Any suggestions?

What does your detection rule look like? If the deployment type runs in user context you should have no problems with the detection rule to catch user settings. For pathes you have to use variables though, like %appdata% %userprofile%. For the registry the build in path for current user works just fine.

That's what i tried first and it is obvious to me now, that it is not that way. I created files which are clearly in the path of the detection rule. They are not detected.

Well, you could still try a custom script detection with powershell

 

$file=[Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("USERPROFILE") + "\mypath\myfile"

if(Get-Item -Path $file -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue){

[Environment]::Exit(0)

}

Else {

[Environment]::Exit(1)

}

Ok, here is an actually working script

 

$file = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("USERPROFILE") + "mypath\myfile"

if (Test-Path $file ) {return $true}
