So I'm not 100% I'm putting this in the right forum, but it might be one of those that can be in multiple places! We have moved our email to the cloud and use mycloudmailbox.com. We access our emails through Office Outlook 2007. For some reason I now the “Check Names” (Ctrl+K) feature does not pull names from the Global Address List. I used to type in the beginning part of the surname of a colleague and click Ctrl+K and BOOM there was their email (as you would all expect!), but not any longer. Now all I get is... It works “normally” for anybody in my own contacts list, just not the Global Address List. I have tried to download the address book by clicking on Send/Receive > Download Address Book, but that didn’t work either. I have also tried to add a new address book by putting webmail05.mycloudmailbox.com into the Tools > Account Settings > Address Books > New > Select “Internet Directory Service (LDAP) > dialogue box, and entering my login details. Without any luck! I kinda hoping somebody has had the same issue and there's a quick fix for it. I'm sure it's something really silly, but when you don't know, you just don't know!! Thanks in advance. Glenn

I ended up using: Robocopy "G:\Calvin Files\RPTFiles (Originals)" "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Calvin#\RPTFiles" /MIR /FFT /Z /XA:H /W:5 Thanks so much rpettit and Galway. I couldn't have done it without you.

That link is awesome...thanks! Something for me to play with tomorrow! I did some digging and I found this: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/1073.robocopy-and-a-few-examples.aspx Mirror a directory with subfolders incl. empty directories /MIR is an option to ROBOCOPY where you mirror a directory tree with all the subfolders including the empty directories and you purge files and folders on the destination server that no longer exists in source. ROBOCOPY \\sourceserver\share \\destinationserver\share /MIR Or ROBOCOPY source-drive:\DIR destination-drive:\DIR /MIR So I'm going to try this tomorrow: Robocopy G:\Calvin Files\RPTFiles (Originals) %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Calvin#\RPTFiles /MIR

I just tested that...And it didn't work! It deleted the files of the folder where the batch file was located!

So it would be a delete followed by a copy...Makes sense! I'm a scripting novice so bear with me! I did a search and found something that I've adapted...Do you think this would work? cd "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Calvin#\RPTFiles" del *.* /F /S /Q /A: R /A: H /A: A rmdir /s /q "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Calvin#\RPTFiles" XCOPY "G:\Calvin Files\RPTFiles (Originals)" "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Calvin#\RPTFiles" /d/s/y

Testing done! And the copying side worked a treat...Thanks guys. I used the following: XCOPY "G:\Calvin Files\RPTFiles (Originals)" "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Calvin#\RPTFiles" /d/s/y But (there's always a "But"!) what about deleted files? I've got it so that it will copy any new files, and copy across any amended files, but what about if I purposely delete a file from "G:\Calvin Files\RPTFiles (Originals)"? At the moment it still keeps the 'old' file that I want deleted in the "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Calvin#\RPTFiles" location. I suppose what I'm looking for is a 'Clone' of a folder, rather than a 'Backup'. To be honest, it's not a big deal, as initially we just want to deploy these files onto our user machines, and make amendements. We may not even need to delete files. It's just when I was testing, I was adding/amending/removing a test file and the 'remove' part didn't work!

It would be %USERPROFILE% I would need...Thanks for the spot and the .cmd advice too.

Makes sense. Thanks.

I've not been able to do any testing today, so did a bit more research and wanted to see what you though... So I want the logon script to check the source and destination folders, if there have been any changes to the source folder (amendments to files, new files added, old files deleted). I want these changes reflected in the destination folder. Source (Server): G:\Calvin\RPTFiles\REPORT Destination (PC/Laptop): %public%\Documents\Calvin\RPTFiles\REPORT if exist %destination% goto GO :GO mkdir %destination%%yyyymmdd1% xcopy %source%* %destination% /s/d/y/c/v/r echo. echo Finished copying %source% to %destination% echo. echo Created %destination%%yyyymmdd1% pause Does that look about right, or am I barking up the wrong tree?

An "IF EXIST" user logon script it is then! I'm back in the office tomorrow, so I'll give it a whirl and let you know. Cheers guys.

Is there much difference between IF EXIST and XCOPY? After reading your posts it got me digging some more....So, would this work (I can't get to my server to test for a few days!) XCOPY "g:\Calvin\RPTFiles\REPORT" "%public%\Documents\Calvin\RPTFiles\REPORT" /d /y Where g: is a location on the server. Can I use "public" or would it need to be "alluserprofiles", or something else? Or am I barking up the wrong tree completely?!

So here's the deal. I have a Small Business Server (2008) server, and I have multiple laptops connected to the server (sometimes connected...When the users are in the office!). We have some software on the server and laptops that is a database sytem that as part of it's function runs and prints reports. To run these reports I need specific files on each laptop that are located at C:\Users\Username\Documents\SoftwareName\RPTFiles\REPORT. The .rpt files that reside in this folder on each laptop need to periodically be updated. At the moment we go around each laptop and drop them in individually via a flash drive. There has to be an easier way to push these out to all machines...I just can't remember how! So can anybody help? I've been away from the game for a while, so bare with me if it's a silly question!

I already looked into these, but they are limited. If I have a video stream from a specific website, I cannot access them from these types of devices.

Thanks for the input guys. I'll do a bit of research on what you've recommended and see what I come up with! Thanks again.
