I got it working. I had to remove the group membership portion of the
script.
If objFilesystem.FileExists("C:\windows\saplogon.ini") Then
objFilesystem.DeleteFile "C:\windows\saplogon.ini", True
End If
objFilesystem.CopyFile "\\beaches\NETLOGON\saplogon.ini", "C:\windows\",
True
This is the working script.
Thanks for all your help.
