Question : Script through SCCM will not copy files.

Alrighty. I'm missing something here and I can't figure out what it is. Basically I'm trying to deploy an app that's a simple .exe (no installer) to my client machines. When I run it manually, it works fine. But if I advertise it, all it does is create the directories and never copies the files. SCCM returns a positive result because the script completed though. So what am I missing? The install account has admin rights.

Anyone have any ideas?

Answer : Script through SCCM will not copy files.

How is the SCC program configured to run, if it's running as an administrator then it's running under the computers system context, so the share \\share\TrueCrypt must have read access for Domain Computers both at the share level and NTFS level. I'm guessing this is your issue.
