Nice script. Thank you.
Where do I put the script in order to be executed automatically before a user get logged in?
This script not for logon purpose, this is build for taking windows profile backup before renaming/deleting the user profile.
That’s the thing i am looking for. If i want to copy the data to network share, what changes I have to made. Pleas…………….e advise
you can use UNC path for that or, you can map network path before using it over network share.
I am getting a error saying wrong drive letter even though I am entering the correct drive letter.
