Hey @venkatraj

First of all, I suggest your read more about chef documentation, especially it’s directory resource : https://docs.chef.io/resource_directory.html

Next, please format your code using the preformated text.

Finally, to answer your question, it seems to me you’ve got some extra quote here
command “PowerShell Copy-Item -Recurse “Z:\symantec\Sep_client_12.1_English\Sep-client” -Destination “C:\symantec””

You can use rubocop to help you find errors in your code.
