Hello @Brink,

In a Script that I am writing, I would like to check the existence of the file [ <if> <then> <else> scenario ] that is exported as per the Tutorial above, but I am having a real problem locating it anywhere on my system [ Group Policy / Registry ] !

Have you any ideas please ?

Thanks.

Hello Paul,

Are you using an environmental variable for the path since it saves to the current user's profile folder?

Thanks for the reply @Brink, it is appreciated.

The question was mainly for interest than anything else. I just wanted to know where the data source should be in order to directly query it to see if there was any data to output. Anyway, I have sorted it now by outputting the data to a %Temp% file and querying that file to see if it has any data or it is empty.

Thanks again, and have a great weekend.

Code:

$File = "$env:UserProfile\Desktop\ExploitProtectionSettings.xml"

if ((Test-Path $File) -eq $false) {
    "$File not found."
}
