QAS - Using Text Replacement Macros in GPO Dynamic File Copy Source Path ?

$

Working with a customer where there a large number of unix hosts that require differing "user-override" files applied - ie for the same AD user - apply different overrides on different hosts.

 

While it is possible to deploy the user-override files when the host is QAS joined to AD - we would prefer to use the GPO's applied to the hosts to deploy the files/overrides so that they can then be centrally managed - and eventually removed once the the "dirty" user config has been resolved.

 

It appears that it is not possible to use a Text Replacement Macro in a GPO in the source path for the Dynamic File Copy ? - I'd like to set up a per-host sub directory - and have a single GPO used to copy the correct file from the host specific subdirectory to the host ? eg \somepath\%hostname%\user-override.  A text replacement macro is then used to determine which file gets copied to the host when the policy is applied . . ..

 

Looking at the GPO directory structure on SYSVOL on the DC - after a Dynamic File Copy has been defined - it simple places the source file in a flat directory structure . . .

 

Any ideas on how this can be accomplished - without having to create a seperate GPO per host . .. . .

 

TIA
