Mitch, below is a batch file I use (for a login script) for Sheldon. This runs at EVERY login to ensure they always have the newest version of the executable without having to repackage everything into an MSI
@echo off C: :ATTENDANCE REM "If the desktop shortcut for attendance exists, move on, otherwise copy from server to user's profile on desktop" IF EXIST "%USERPROFILE%\desktop\High School Attendance.url" GOTO GRADEBOOK xcopy "\\nt1\djmc\software\08-09\High School Attendance.url" "%USERPROFILE%\desktop\" :GRADEBOOK REM ** No matter what, we copy over the newest version of the gradebook, since JMC does update this occasionally, and we can deploy the REM ** newest version of the app simply by dropping it into the share below. Delete the existing file, and copy the executable into the user's folder on the server DEL "H:\jmc\IP GradeBook.exe" xcopy "\\nt1\djmc\software\08-09\IP GradeBook.exe" "H:\jmc\" :SERVERSETTINGS REM ** If the server settings file exists, then continue to the gradebook shortcut, otherwise copy to the same directory as the gradebook executable IF EXIST "H:\jmc\ServerSettings.gbk" GOTO GBKSHORTCUT xcopy "\\nt1\djmc\software\08-09\HSServerSettings.gbk" "H:\jmc\" rename "H:\jmc\HSServerSettings.gbk" "ServerSettings.gbk" :GBKSHORTCUT REM ** If shortcut file exists, then exit, otherwise copy to the user's profile on the desktop DEL "%USERPROFILE%\desktop\High School Gradebook 07-08.lnk" DEL "%USERPROFILE%\desktop\High School Gradebook.lnk" xcopy "\\nt1\djmc\software\08-09\High School Gradebook.lnk" "%USERPROFILE%\desktop\" :END From: Mitch Mueller [mailto:mmuel...@emmetsburg.k12.ia.us] Sent: Friday, July 24, 2009 6:43 AM To: info-tech@aea8.k12.ia.us Subject: [info-tech]JMC For those of you who are using JMC Gradebook and Attendance programs. Is there a quick way to deploying it. I usually have to wait till all the teachers are back and go from teacher to teacher, setting it up. Didn't know if there was a better way to do it. Thanks Mitch Mueller Emmetsburg CSD
