Copying Files to Intune Device failing

[andy_nic]

i'm try to copying a wallpaper file and desktop shortcuts, i've done this at a job before before my current one and it worked, now gone to implement it, currently using windows 11 24H2 which i'm starting to think is the issue.

The PowerShell script is 

 

copy-item -path "$PSScriptRoot\Shortcuts\*" -destination "C:\Users\Public\Desktop" -Recurse

also tried 

 

$ScriptPath = Split-Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path

and 

".\Shortcuts\"

 

I package them up as win32 app, then used these commands in Intune and check it is set to system.

 

powershell.exe -File .\OfficeShortcuts.ps1

and 

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\OfficeShortcuts.ps1

and 

C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe  -command .\OfficeShortcuts.ps1

 

but always fails?

Hi Andrew,

 

Am using this method to push out shortcuts, it means creating an app per shortcut but you can then remove a shortcut easily if it’s no longer required in your environment.

I’ve then pushed out some icon files to the drive for shortcuts that need need them.
