Syncing My Document to Network drive
Amber
network drive every time I logout of the computer?

set it as a Logoff Script.
If you're running XP Home you'd have to install 3rd party software to
replace the LogOff Script function.

Could you give me a hint to what command to use to write
the logoff script? Or where to get information.
Thanks

Search XP's Help on your computer for "logoff script" and I believe
you'll find what you are looking for.

Simply copy and paste the following into a Notepad file and save it as
AmberNetCopy.VBS. The file needs to be in a location accessible to your
user profile.

'Sync My Documents to another network share
'By Doug Knox - 9/7/2003
On Error Resume Next
'Prevents errors from values that don't exist
'Set the Scripting Object
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'Set the File System Object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Get the location of the User's My Documents folder
strMyDocs = WshShell.SpecialFolders("MyDocuments")
'Get the current Username
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strUser = WshNetwork.UserName
'Define the path to the network share and destination folder
'Build the path to the network Share
strDestination = "\\machine1name\shareddrivename\backups\" & strUser & "\My
Documents"
'Copy the files
Copy the My Documents folder to the Destination
fso.CopyFolder strMyDocs,strDestination,True
'Alternate usage of a mapped drive
'Assumes Drive X is mapped to \\machine1name\shareddrivename\backups
'strDestination = "X:\" & strUser & "\My Documents"
'fso.CopyFolder strMyDocs,strDestination,True
Set WshShell = Nothing
Set WshShell = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
-------------- End Copy above this
line --------------------------------------------
All you need to do is modify the strDestination line to point to the actual
network share. The alternative example assumes a Drive X is mapped to the
desired backup's folder. If you have a network share mapped for this
purpose, just change the drive letter in the script.
Then your system administrator can use Group Policies to assign the log off
script to your profile. If you're in non-domain environment, click Start,
Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC Go to User Configuration, Windows Settings,
Scripts (Logon/Logoff), Logoff. Click the Add button, then Browse, and
browse to the location you saved the AmberNetCopy.VBS file. There are no
parameters to set for the script. Click Apply and then OK.
This sets the script to run for all users on the machine, not just
individual users. So the script must be in a location that can be "read" by
all users. But, since the script uses the system to find out who the
"logged on user" is, there are no conflicts since each user will get their
own "<username>\My Documents" folder in the backup location.
This script will increase your logoff time. How long depends on how much
you have to backup.
