Rename and Copy local file to Server

[mrforgetful]

We use AB Tutor to log computer activity.

 

I would like to copy these logs to a folder on the server when the user logs off.

 

Now all the computers name the files by their date ie 20080215.blg

 

This means I need to rename the file to the computer name aswell as copy it, or create a subfolder with the computer name.

 

Any ideas? Or do I just tell people logs are lost when the computer is imaged, as current practice.

Sounds fairly simple with a batch script and scheduled task.

 

On my machine I have a enviroment variable called COMPUTERNAME which I can see by doing echo %COMPUTERNAME%. I'm not sure if this is their by default (perhaphs someone else can confirm). This combined with xcopy to a UNC path should do the job.....

 

Schedule to run as often as you need or just run manually before you image the machine.

I'm a numpty when it comes to coding...

[Jona]

well bat files are just a list of dos commands so hardly even coding.

 

You'd want something *like*

 

xcopy /E /v /c /y sourcedrive:\sourcefolder\ \\servername\writableshare\%computername%\

My God that is simple! Cheers Jona.

 

I've used scripts to copy stuff before but usally from the server.

 

I had no idea you could just put %COMPUTERNAME% and it would automatically do that.
