FYI - for a non-scripted, GUI tool that can create some very detailed reports in comparing directory structures, or even the contents of INI files. Take a peek at Beyond Compare. Very handy software. http://www.scootersoftware.com/moreinfo.php J ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Landin, Mark Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 7:12 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Direcotry compares Check the Windows 2000 Resource Kit utility called ROBOCOPY. It's made to keep directories synchronized. However, I think it has a "preview" mode so you can have it compare directories without actually fixng them up. ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Boggan Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 9:02 AM To: ThinList Subject: Spam:[THIN] Direcotry compares I am trying to write a simple script that will compare a source directory to directories on other servers and make sure they all match the source directory. Anyone have a suggestion? I have seen software but was wanting to be able to some kind of script to do it quickly and easily. Thanks, Michael Boggan
