How to keep the file on desktop up to date?

Question

Question
We want to push file from shared folder to user's desktop

e.g Copy file ABC.pdf to C:\user\public\Desktop from \shared\ABC.pdf

If I changed the content in ABC.pdf how Can I make sure on the user's desktop also updated?(Same version with shared one)
We can't change the name ABC.pdf

Any script can achieve it? PowerShell or Batch or deploy via MECM/SCCM

Thanks

Answer 1

I think you could use Powershell

1. user a logon scripts
2. use Test-path , to make sure the ABC.pdf does it exist on desktop
3. use Compare-Object, to Compare files $objects = @{
   ReferenceObject = (Get-ChildItem -Path "xx.txt")
   DifferenceObject = (Get-ChildItem -Path "xx.txt")
   }
   Compare-Object @objects -Property LastWriteTime -ExcludeDifferent

Answer 2

if(Boolean_expression) {
   // Executes when the Boolean expression is true
}else {
     // Executes when the Boolean expression is false
   if()....

}

Answer 3

$fileA = "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\ABC.pdf"
$fileB = "\shared\ABC.pdf"

if(Test-Path $fileA)
{
if((Get-FileHash $fileA).hash -eq (Get-FileHash $fileB).hash)
{
Write-host : 'Files are the same and update to date'
Break
}

if((Get-FileHash $fileA).hash -ne (Get-FileHash $fileB).hash)
{
Write-host :'File need update'}
}
}
else
{
Write-host :'File Copied and update to date'
}

I found the solution

Works like a charm!
