How can I use scripting with KACE as my distribution point?
I've been asked to deploy a list of Windows fonts to all of our users. My original plan was to use one of our servers as the distro point, and execute a script copying the fonts from there into the Windows\Fonts directory with Robocopy.
However, my bosses want me to use KACE as the distribution point. Is it possible for me to do that with a vbs script? If so, can anyone please advise how? I'm very new to scripting, and still working out proper syntax for everything.

You can either upload it as a software inventory item (deploy through file sync or MI) or as a dependency in a script.
In a script, it would probably be easiest to use a zipped package and have the Kscript unzip the files into place.
the scripting module can do that for you. take a look at the admin guide here:

I ended up using a script to install the fonts after all, but now I'm running into another problem, which I'll detail in a separate question. Thank you both! - blizzardwolf 10 years ago
