vbs logon script CopyFile error

[HeidiS]

We are migrating to Windows XP, and are finding that our vbs domain logon
scripts that ran in Windows 2000 are now displaying an error "Permission
denied" when trying to copy a file from a server to the C:\ drive (using
fso.CopyFile).
As I understand it, Windows XP may have restricted permissions at the root
of C:, which is causing this error for all but users who are Administrators...
I'm fairly new to vbs, and welcome any ideas about how to work around this
limitation. or some thoughts on how best to accomplish a file copy via logon
script to Windows XP machines...
thanks in advance for any suggestions/input~

I suggest the following News Group for your scripting needs...
