I have not tried it but couldn't you just use the /B switch in Robocopy which uses backup mode?

I also found it significantly easier to run the command on the server directly rather than the mapped drive remotely. After you establish ownership of the directory and subdirectories, it should work.

The command appears to run against about 260 folders then stops. 'Successfully processed 260 files'. There are about 3000 user folders so I'm not sure why it stops short? The command I'm running is: icacls z:\profiles /grant mydomain\adminuser(OI)(CI)F /T I need to add this user to he can run the robocopy successfully, currently I get a ton of 'access denied' when trying to copy the folders. Is my command wrong or is there a better way to add this user to everyone's profile folder? Thanks all! *************************************** John C.
