File getting copied to SysWow64 instead of System32

Question

We have created a policy to copy screensaver file in System32 folder.

But when we are applying the policy the file is getting copied to SysWow64.

The command we used is

xcopy /s /t /q /y . \abc.scr C:\windows\system32

@Tathagata Bhattacharya, Thanks for posting in Q&A.

For your issue, to know it better, please collect the following information :

1. Could you confirm if we deploy via PowerShell script in Intune> If yes, please get screen shot of the configuration. If not ,please describe how we deploy.
2. If you change to use the full path of the abc.scr in the command, will it work?

Please collect the above information and if there's any update, feel free to let us know.

Answer 2

@Tathagata Bhattacharya, Thanks for the reply. Based on my testing, I find the command doesn't work. After checking the parameter in the command, it is the "/t" which blocks the copy.

You can change to the following command to copy the file

xcopy /y .\abc.scr C:\windows\system32

Hope the above information can help.
