This is the script.

If objFilesystem.FileExists("C:\windows\saplogon.ini") Then
msgbox("1")
         objFilesystem.DeleteFile "C:\windows\saplogon.ini", True
msgbox("2")
     End If
 msgbox("3")
    objFilesystem.CopyFile "\\beaches\NETLOGON\saplogon.ini",
"C:\windows\saplogon.ini", True
msgbox("4")

The message boxes tell me if it ran.
