Copy-FileToUserProfiles not copying all files

Hi,

I am trying to copy a folder called Sun from the Support Files folder to Appdata\Roaming using the Copy-FileToUserProfiles function. I am using the command below

Copy-FileToUserProfiles -Path "$dirFiles\Sun" -Destination "AppData\Roaming\Sun\Java\Deployment\" -Recurse

The deployment folder is empty even though there are supposed to be more directories and a file in the folder.

I had also used the following command at one point and it did not work

Copy-FileToUserProfiles -Path "$dirFiles\Sun" -Destination "AppData\Roaming" -Recurse

I am testing this on a Windows 11 22H2 VM.

Does anyone have any suggestions to help troubleshoot or resolve this?

Thanks in advance.

Anthony

What does the PSADT log file say when it processes Copy-FileToUserProfiles ?

Thanks for the suggestion

Hi,

I figured out what was happening, I copied and pasted from the command reference section of this site. I thought the variable in use in the example was $dirSupportFiles but it was $dirFiles which means the command was looking in the wrong place for the source files to copy.

Thanks for your time everyone.
