Make sure you’re running the latest version of robocopy if you’re on Win7/2008.

I don’t think robocopy syntax has changed since the NT 4.0 RK version, except 
for the addition of new command-line switches.

Dave – let’s see the script you are/were using.

Obviously robocopy's syntax has changed....I can't imagine a utility like that 
being canned! It's not a UAC issue, is it?

Subject: [NTSysADM] syncing millions of files in a folder

looking for what people use to sync/copy folders that have millions of files in 
them. we have one such folder that i used to copy with robocopy. It would blat 
me the additional changes for that day. Worked great for a few years. It 
stopped working a while ago and i can't seem to restart it. robocopy from a 
command line just sits there forever.
What has anyone else tried for this type of process?
thanks
dave
