GPP File Copy Issue

[NickF]

I am trying to copy a file, which is a new font to all my XP machines.
I have set this up as a group policy preference under the Computer container
as the user would not have the rights to copy into the Windows\Fonts
directory.

The syntax of the copy is:
Source file: %LogonServer%\Apps\Ecofont\spranq_eco_sans_regular.ttf
Destination: %WindowsDir%\Fonts\spranq_eco_sans_regular.ttf

When the group policy runs, the file is not copied and the following errors
is logged:

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Group Policy Files
Event Category: (2)
Event ID: 4098
Date: 2/9/2010
Time: 7:40:03 AM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: TEST
Description:
The computer 'spranq_eco_sans_regular.ttf'
preference item in the 'GPP EcoFont {A7200F08-63D6-4CB3-B3FA-628EFE2DC593}'
Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code
'0x80070003
The system cannot find the path specified.

If I login as a user, open a command prompt and type "copy
%LogonServer%\Apps\Ecofont\spranq_eco_sans_regular.ttf" it will copy the file
fine.

How can I get this to work properly?
What permissions are required at the source share and directory?

Figured it out, %LogonServer% wouldn't exist at the time the file copy would
take place.

Thanks for actually replying to your own post! I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong until I came across this. All the other threads just say that user don't have read access to the location.... THIS is what was actually going on!
