From within an AutoIt Script, I'm trying to use psexec with system authority to copy files from one place on a remote machine to another. When I issue the necessary command outside of the script (at a command prompt), the command executes properly. Here's the exact one-line command: psexec \\vmhartlti01 -s XCOPY "C:\temp\hs\Hyperspace POC.lnk" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Landesk\ManagementSuite\Launchpad\Dept Apps\" /Y When I try to run the exact same command from within an AutoIt Script, an XCOPY parse error 4 flashes up for a millisecond in the console and the command fails. The command appears to be formed properly in the message box popup. $cmd = 'psexec \\vmhartlti01 -s XCOPY "C:\temp\hs\Hyperspace POC.lnk" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Landesk\ManagementSuite\Launchpad\Dept Apps\" /Y' MsgBox(4096, "test", $cmd) $XCopyStatus = Run($cmd, "c:\temp") The Run command returns the XCOPY PID rather than zero, further obfuscating the problem. I've been working on this for a while now and I think I must be missing something. Does anyone see the problem? Thanks for your help.
