I am trying to copy and paste one of the file form my main BigFix server to a remote system and the path are windows C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64, an application team has an requirement.
We were successfully able to paste the file in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 but we are not able to paste in C:\Windows\System32.
Below are the method which i tried:
By the software distribution method and simply extracting it the C:\Windows\System32 folder, the task gets completed in the console but the file is not there in the folder.
We edited the same deployment and tried to copy it from the _Download folder to the system32 folder but the deployment failed.
We even tried to move the file from the _Download folder to the system32 folder but it failed.
Your original question indicates that you have recognised that there are 32 & 64 bit versions of the system folder, but your script does not cater for that.
Remember - the Bigfix client is 32-bit, so 32-bit redirection is on by default.
You need to include the line
action uses wow64 redirection {not x64 of operating system}
somewhere before you do the copy to the 64-bit System32 folder
