Re: copy/move alias

I have tried the ARD "copy items" function to move an alias out to machines to no avail.  The item that is copied is not the file I selected.  Is moved as CAL.app not as alias.  I am concluding that "copy items" won't work on an alias but acts on what the alias is pointed at.

We still have IE5 in the Mac lab but recently it's been hanging the systems when students instinctively use it to visit certain sites so I had to alias it to Safari.app.

I used "copy items" in ARD by dragging the alias into the copy file list well but like you said, the Safari.app got copied over instead.

Then I tried using the "+" instead of dragging it into the well and viola, it copied the alias and worked out fine on target Macs.  The 2 methods obviously work differently.

All HDs on the Macs are named "Macintosh HD" so this helps.
