Using PDQ Deploy to update an Access Front End

I would like to use PDQ Deploy to update our end user's front end for a custom inhouse database that we use.

Is it possible to use PDQ Deploy to delete the file that is currently in the directory, copy the new file to that directory and then rename that file that was copied to another standard name?

I am new to PDQ Deploy and I have not been able to find any information on this.

Thank you,

Jeff

You would want to do this via a script and then have PDQ execute that script locally on the target system. Batch scripts are probably the most common but if you're into powershell that would work too. Just be sure to specify the full path that the script would need to add/remove files. You can also have the script copy files that are included in the package. Just call the copy file from the current location (.\) and copy to the appropriate directory. Then run the rename.

Hope this helps.
