GP to copy file onto local computers

Hi,

One of the bespoke applications we use has a DLL file that needs to be updated if any changes occur within the application.

In the past we have simply manually copied this file to each of the users computers, however we are now getting to the point where this is taking a long time.

An idea that has been put forward is to create a GP which will copy the file from the server to the application directory on the users computer. I think this is possible, but I am sure the policy would need permission to the users local drive/folder and it may also need to somehow check file version or date or something to make sure it copies the file across and doesnt always do it every time the user logs in.

Any ideas most welcome.

Cheers in advance.
