Need a script to copy a file to slaves

Deadline
1

Hi, I need some help with the following scenario:

I need to copy a couple of files from a network server to each of my slaves’ C:\Program Files folders.
Slaves are running as restricted users who do not have permissions to write there, however I do have admin rights with my own login.
I was considering switching on the “Run as user” feature in the Monitor temporarily to ‘deploy’ these files and then switching it off again when done.

Can somebody please help me with the script / commands I need to use to achieve this and would Windows CMD Submission or Python Submission be better here? I’m fairly new when it comes to running scripts through Deadline.

Thanks for any help!

Hey cadviz,

Deadline isn’t what you want to be using to deploy software like this. Instead, take a look at PsExec to run the command to download the files from the server to the computer on every computer. That should get you going in the right direction.
