Good Afternoon,
I have been trying to find information on how use WPP to push out files to certain folders, or even push a folder with files to a workstation. Our GPO, unfortunately is causing some issues with slowness on some items.
How, if possible, can you push a folder with files on a Workstation using WPP.
Also could you place new font files in the fonts folder using WPP?
Just looking for other avenues other than GPO.. Thank you.

Comments: Another way to do it: 1) Create self-extracting archive with the files. In 7-Zip, save it as 7z archive format and put a check mark in the "Create SFX archive" box. 2) When adding to WPP, make sure the command-line option is: -o"c:\Destination\Directory" -y 3) Make sure the logic for detecting that the file is installed or needs to be upgraded works. 4) Test to make sure you've not put the update into an endless loop.
