Copy files to desktop in SCCM 2012

Copy files to desktop in SCCM 2012

 

1.       Create a parent folder in your source file repository (I created DesktopTools).

2.       Create a sub-folder in the folder just created called Files2Copy and place the files you are going to copy to desktop in this folder.

 

 

if not exist "%1" md "%1"

copy /y "%~dp0Files2Copy\*.*" "%1"

 

 

 

3.       Create a batch file called filecopy.bat (if you’re not sure how to create a batch file here’s a quick instructions - A. open notepad and copy paste those 2 lines in below B. save as then point to the DesktopTools folder, name it filecopy.bat) with the below two lines and place it in the parent directory created in step 1. This batch file will create a folder specified on the command-line (if it doesn’t already exist) and copy the files from the Files2Copy folder into it.

So it should looks like below

4.       Create a package in SCCM 2012 using the parent directory created in step 1 as the source file location
                a) Open SCCM 2012 console=> Software Library => Application management => Right click Packages =>  Create Package =>
