    Hi,

    I like to copy from Userhome UNC Path to Citrix User Appdata, i used this script:

    $source = "\\intra.frutigen.com\DFS\Home$\$env:USERNAME\work"
    $server = "$env:COMPUTERNAME"
    $destinationpath = "\\$server\C$\Users\$env:USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\*"

    copy-item -path $source -destination $destinationpath -verbose

    I always get this Error:

    copy-item : Illegal characters in path.
    At line:1 char:1
    + copy-item -path $source -destination $destinationpath -verbose
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (\\WAGVXAXY\C$\U...ing\Microsoft\*:String) [Copy-Item], ArgumentExcepti
       on
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CreateDirectoryArgumentError,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.CopyItemCommand

    PS C:\Windows\system32> copy-item : Illegal characters in path.
    Copy-Item : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'characters'.
    At line:1 char:1

        + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Copy-Item], ParameterBindingException

    Destination path cannot have a wildcard and does not end in a backslash.  It must be the path of a folder or file.

    $destinationpath = "\\$server\C$\Users\$env:USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft"
