Does anyone know if this is in Windows 2003 Server? Or would I need to sync to
a from an XP machine?
Thank You,
James

I'm a pretty big fan of robocopy, the command line copier that comes with
Windows XP Pro, I think, (can't remember if it comes with W2K) and is also in
the W2K Resource Kit, I believe.
Sample synchit.bat file:
@ECHO OFF
SET SOURCEDIR=%1
SET TARGETDIR=%2
SET LOGPATH=%3
IF {%SOURCEDIR%}=={/?} GOTO :Usage
IF {%SOURCEDIR%}=={} GOTO :Usage
IF {%LOGPATH%}=={} (SET LOGPATH=nul)
echo %date% %time%>>%LOGPATH%
robocopy %SOURCEDIR% %TARGETDIR% /NP /XA:S /R:2 /W:3 /MIR /LOG:%LOGPATH% /XD
"System Volume Information" "Recycler"
echo.>>%LOGPATH%
goto :eof
:usage
echo.
echo Usage:
echo.
echo synchit "C:\Source\Directory" "C:\Target\Directory" ["C:\Logpath.txt"]
echo.
Does that make sense at all? You should check out the documentation on
Robocopy to see all the switches. For example, the /MIR switch means that not
only will it copy all the files from %SOURCEDIR% to %TARGETDIR%, but it will
also delete files from %SOURCEDIR% if they don't exist in %TARGETDIR%, because
the idea here is to mirror the directories.

Subject: [windows2000] Sync specific directories from one server to multiple
servers
Hello,
We had an interesting event happen and are looking at being better prepared for
it the next time we have a similar problem arise. As part of this preparation,
we would like to set up a way to sync two specific directories from our
production machine to several other machines. Does anyone know of an utility
that could do this or perhaps some kind of batch script that could be run to
accomplish it?
Thank You,
James
