I had problems with that as well earlier this week (first time use...just never 
needed to use *.* before this). Apparently, the syntax has to be "very" 
specific on both the source and target. Instead of installing the GPMC scripts 
as a WMI tool, having that be part of our server 2008 Build image, and 
constantly having to 'test' it as an independent component of the build, I just 
wanted to copy the GPMC Scripts there directly. Perfect example of this kind of 
use as a Preference. After about 16 tries using various syntax examples, here's 
what I got to work: 
  
Source: 
\\zzz.tl.xxx.com\SYSVOL\zzz.tl.xxx.com\Policies\{FFAD367D-3FE3-447C-AE20-30FDFE1B3956}\Machine\Files\xxx
 Group Policy\GPMC Sample Scripts\*.* 
  
Destination: %ProgramFilesDir%\xxx Group Policy\GPMC Sample Scripts\ 
  
Took me a while to understand that to build it correctly, I had to specify a 
"source" location that contains at least one file (a parent folder doesn’t seem 
to work…I had wanted to use… …30FDFE1B3956}\Machine\Files\*.* and that didn’t 
work, but I need to test some more). As well, I had to specify the full path of 
the destination folder and (TADA) use a trailing backslash before things 
started to work correctly. Also note that I just wanted to place the files 
within the GPO for ease of access. That’s why the use of the fully qualified 
UNC path. That path is available almost from the get-go after the device is 
booted and the network started (zzz – domain name, tl – test lab, zzz – my 
company name). 
  
Try this and let me know if it works for you. Good Luck.

Sure, I've used that feature since PolicyMaker. Works fine for me. You 
sure you have the permissions set correctly for the source you're 
copying from?

Anyone have success with copying files (*.*) with Group Policy 
Preferences?  I configured the preference, but it's not doing 
anything. 
  
Thanks, 
Sunshine
