[ful56_uk]

Hi

 

does anyone have a script that will check a local folder is there if so is it older then the one on the server is so replace the contains.

 

I need to copy a folder to the root of c but only want to do it if there is a newer one on the server so it doens get copyied evertime a pc boots up.

 

Thanks

this should help, The Windows command Xcopy and its uses

 

Xcopy will do your trick and then just use a switch /D dont add a date as then it will only copy files/folder if the source on the server is newer then the existing folder on the c:\
