It's a solid tool that MCS uses for consolidation of multiple systems to one (think a bunch of file servers NT 4, Win2k, whatever), or for hardware to hardware copy after the OS is installed. Nice thing is it brings over the security and is a bit easier for the command-line challenged, or when there are a number of pick this, don't copy this, type decisions that need to be made.

It seems to be a take off of Fastlane's server consolidator that was written for Microsoft several years back. test Jose -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Rick Kingslan Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 8:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir][OT] File copy with security intact Yep - what assist do you need, or what information related to it?

It will stop when a file is locked or in use. It does not copy at the block level like rsync. It is a very useful tool but beware of it's limitations. (Although the version I used was from the 2000 resource kit, so if there has been improvements I may be mistaken).
