Hello,
Thanks for all your inputs now below you mentioned
copy(qq(\\machine1\share\$file),qq(\\mahine2\share\$file))
sorry for my ignorance but what is qq????
also if I want to be smart and copy it to the c: drive
of some user - assuming I am running the script from a
Domain Admin login
eg. \\machine1\c$\file
then the dollar sign won't work as expected right -
given my limited understanding will a \$ work then!!!
Regards
