Hi,

Startup scripts run with system permissions on the local computer and the
permissions of the computer object in the domain. The script has sufficient
permissions locally, but probably lacks permission to copy the file from
it's source location. Give the group "Domain Computers" read permission to
the share where you are copying files from. This gives permission to all
computer objects.
