I just downloaded it from your link below, and did not find any newer
version of ROBOCOPY that was installed.  The ROBOCOPY that comes with
Vista has an option to copy the time and datestamps of the folders you
are copying that I would like to have, but the Vista EXE will not run on
Windows 2003 server or XP.

If anyone know where to get this new version of ROBOCOPY that will work
in Server 2003 please post it.

Also, there is a new "replacement" for ROBOCOPY called "RichCopy" that
you can get from:

I tried it a few months ago but it kept crashing on me.  I just
re-downloaded it and it seems that they have updated the EXE last month
so I will do some more testing on it. It is multithreaded so it could
possibly give you some speed improvements over ROBOCOPY.

  As Mike Gill hinted at: Download the "RoboCopy GUI" utility.  The
package includes a copy of ROBOCOPY.EXE version XP026 that will run on
2000/XP/2003.  To the best of my knowledge, this is the only way to
obtain that version.  I've run the actual GUI EXE from that package a
grand total of once in my life.  :)
