VBS Script to copy a folder

[FN-GM]

Hi

 

I would like a script that will copy a folder containing shortcuts from the servers to the clients but only when there has been changes to the server copy. How would I achieve this please?

Use ROBOCOPY. IIRC, the basic syntax will only overwrite older or changed files. I've used this many times in startup/logon scripts for syncing folders full of shortcuts from server to desktop.

Agreed, ROBOCOPY is the tool to use for this. There is also a ROBOCOPY GUI which will 'build' the command line for you if you are feeling lazy
