Powershell to copy xml file

---

Hi Mike,

I am looking for a powershell script that i can retrieve a .xml file from a share on a server and copy it down to the local harddrive under C:\Program Files\ProgramName\

Not to up on Powershell yet.

Any suggestions how i could write that or any examples on how i could do that.

Thank you,

Craig

@Craig-Lush ,

You should be able to use the UNC path in the copy-item cmdlet:

Copy-Item -Path "\\servername\sharename\file.xml" -Destination "C:\Program Files\ProgramName\"

@Craig-Lush ,

Or:

$src = "\\servername\sharename\file.xml"
$dst = "C:\Program Files\ProgramName\"
Copy-Item -Path $src -Destination $dst

Thanks so much Mike. I will try that.

Have a great weekend...

@Mike-Rodrick The script works when i run powershell as an administrator if it don't it get access denied. Is there a way to add to the script to allow it to run as administrator or with elevated privileges .

What i have to do it add it in SCCM as part of my task sequence. I tried SetExecutionPolicy to unrestricted however i get errors on that.

It seems to work when i was enabling the .net frame but not this. Please see attached photo.

Thank you,

Craig

@Craig-Lush ,

Sorry Craig, I've been on vacation. I hope you got this solved. It looks like a permission issue. Whatever context the task sequence is running under doesn't have the correct permissions. I cannot tell if that is the source or destination path from your screenshot. If the source is a UNC path, don't forget share permissions.

It doesn't look like an execution policy issue.
