Vista - script to create shortcut on user desktop

Hi, there:

This is a Wscript question, I can't find a dedicated group for windows
scipting, so I post here.

I am a new with script and look around on Microsoft website for a solution
to my problem:


Basically I would like to use logon script with group policy in Windows
server 2003 to achieve the following goal:



1): create a shortcut in user’s desktop, the target of this shortcut is a
share folder on file server.



When I search the Microsoft website, I write the following script:



objWSHShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

strDesktop = objWSHShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")



strShortcutName="Corporate Public Folder"

strShortcutPath="\\w2k3chsvr\public"



objShortcut=objWSHShell.creatShortcut(strDesktop + "\" + strShortcutName +
".lnk")

objShortcut.TargetPath=strShortcutPath

objShortcut.Save



I create a script file with name “logon.wsf� on a test XP machine and run
the file, however it pops up an error window saying “on jobs are define in
the file�,

Now I wonder what should be added to this scipt file.


thanks

Hello Huang,
for this issue i would use Batch/Commandline because the Shortcut you
want to deploy is always the same.

1. create the Shortcut for the Folder once on your own desktop
(Corporate Public Folder.lnk)
2. copy it once to the Logonshare of the logonserver
3. Put the following line in the common logonscript:

if not exist "%userprofile%\Desktop\Corporate Public Folder.lnk" (copy
"%LOGONSERVER%\Netlogon\Corporate Public Folder.lnk" "%userprofile%
\Desktop\Corporate Public Folder.lnk")

Best regards
BJ

Hello Huang,

as first I found a literal problem in
"objShortcut=objWSHShell.creatShortcut", better you write
"objShortcut=objWSHShell.createShortcut".

How ever, I got your script running after some modifications inside the
script and renaming the script file to "logon.vbs". This works perfect on
my environment ...

Set objWSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
strDesktop = objWSHShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
strShortcutName = "Corporate Public Folder"
strShortcutPath = "\\w2k3chsvr\public"

Set objShortcut = objWSHShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop & "\" +
strShortcutName & ".lnk")
objShortcut.TargetPath=strShortcutPath
objShortcut.Save
