Robocopy

[cdgill241183]

Hi All,

 

I need to copy a pdf into all the users H: in year 11 at school and instead of manually doing this I was wanting to use Robocopy but having not used this before I don't know we're to start.

 

Any help would be great.

 

Cheers

I would get a list of user directories and use the =concatenate formula in excel to make a bunch of formulas at the end which can be copied into a batch file and run.

Also I would run roboccopy /? in cmd to have a look at it switches :-)

id honestly either use gpp to copy it id add copy \\server\share\file.pdf h:\file.pdf /y into their logon scripts

Saying H: makes me wonder if you have CC4. If so, you can copy stuff to user folders through the management console.

 

Also - do you really want x copies of the same file on your drives? You could just distribute a link to one copy.

Below are the commands that we use with Robocopy to move kids from year to year. We also run a fixpermissions powershell afterwords.

 

C:\Users\admin.MCKEESPORT>robocopy \\masd-filesrvr\southhall\users\office\amendolar \\masd-filesrvr\foundershall\users\office\AmedolaR /E /ZB /DCOPY:T /COPYALL /R:1 /W:1 /V /TEE /LOG:Robocopy.log

 

Hope this helps.
