This week’s tip is a bit longer – it’s actually a little script to remotely create a shortcut to a network file share on a user’s desktop. This one comes in handy when explaining how to make a shortcut over the phone proves …. difficult.
$PC = 'Luke-Laptop.rebellion.org' $User = 'LSkywalker' $TargetPath = "\\tactics.rebellion.org\death_star_plans\" $ShortcutFile="\\$PC\C$\Users\$user\Desktop\Death Star.lnk" $Obj = New-Object -COMObject Wscript.Shell $Shortcut = $Obj.CreateShortcut($ShortcutFile) $Shortcut.TargetPath = $TargetPath $Shortcut.Save()
This one is a good candidate for getting wrapped up in a function and added to an “Admin Toolkit Module”.
