Copy-Item with over write

In one of my script, it tries to copy an exe to C:\Windows\Temp folder. For example:

Copy-Item repo\filename.exe -Destination \\$machine_name\C$\Windows\Temp

Error Message:

Copy-Item : The network path was not found.
At D:\CMPortal\Scripts\ClientRepair\RepairCCMClient.ps1:122 char:33
+                     if(Copy-Item <<<<  cmsetup.exe -Destination \\$install_cmexec\C$\Windows\Temp)
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Copy-Item], IOException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.IO.IOException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.CopyItemCommand

When I run the same command manually, it works. Dont know whats wrong. Is there any to overwrite the file if the copying file exists in the destination?

Thanks in advance.

Are you using the quotes correctly?

Copy-Item 'repo\filename.exe' -Destination "\\$machine_name\C`$\Windows\Temp" -Force

Does $install_cmexec contains a server name? Also, make sure the user who runs the script has the appropriate permissions on the target path.
