Uninstalling the SBS 2011 Client via GPO SBS 2011 -> server 2019 guide chapter 6. Uninstall SBS 2011 Client Agent software

TL/DR: Where are you supposed to put a PS file on the server so that the desktops can run it when it's in a GPO?  And what path do you use in the GPO?

In chapter 6, the guide says:

6.6 Go to the desktop of the server. Wrap it up and put in a Powershell script that runs on all clients on your network. Save the Connector.ps1 to your desktop, right-click and choose Copy (we will paste that later)

then 

6.10 says Paste the Connector.ps1 [into the GPO path of the file to run]

so that path is c:\users\adminperson\desktop\connector.ps1

After saving the GPO, doing gpupdate /force, log out / log in & rebooting repeatedly on a desktop, and connector staying installed, I look in event log.  Looks like it's trying to run c:\users\adminperson\desktop\connector.ps1 (a local file) which doesn't exist.

a) So the GPO doesn't move / copy the PS1 stored on the server's desktop to a share automatically I guess?

b) I guess the file should be in a share AND use the share path in the GPO?  

c) The guide should be updated?  I thought I was late to the SBS 2011 -> server 2019 game / someone else would have hit this before me?

c) and then which share? sysvol?  Some other share?

THANKS!

    Pls look carefully at the screenshot.

    You need paste the file into the open window. That will make the file land in the SYSVOL, to be precise in the scripts folder of the Group Policy. Now it is available to any client computer.

    There is no need to update the guide.
