It didn't work, but thanks for trying.

[FN-GM]

Does anything at all happen? Do we have any errors please?

[morganw]

"Documents and Settings" should be a junction so the path should be valid. How is this being run? Logon script? Startup script?
No longer works is very different to no longer runs.

[EN4CER]

Doesn't find the paths error.

The script is run as a batch file off the server.

This should work...

Hello all,

Please note that the batch file used in your original installation is a tool created by individual 3rd party support company's as a way of helping them to make sure that shortcuts are set up and that all units have the minimum software required to run Espresso. These batch files are not required in order to get Espresso installed on a client PC.

In most cases the software required to run Espresso comes as standard on all clients these days namely, Up to date flash, Windows media player and IE or fire fox (32bit only). All you really need to do is get the shortcut to the URL sent out to all the client desk tops.

Espresso exists on several different types of hardware and each one has a slightly different URL. However, the two main builds are EMD (Espresso own build unit built by Stone or ICT) and Cachepilot (built by Equiinet coming in may different variants) URLs for these are as follows.

EMD: http://xx.xx.xx.xx/espresso/modules/index.html (host name default espresso)
Cachepilot: http://xx.xx.xx.xx/~espresso/modules/index.html (hostname default cachepilot)

Please note that where xx you will need to insert IP or host name of the unit. Also some schools may have changed the host name and so persistent issues should be directed to Espresso.

I would have thought it would be easier to roll these shortcuts out via GPO (or GPP if you're brave) and maybe item level targeting.
