...and CLI strings like that are why we have GUI's :) I usually add /nfl /ndl /np /log:log.txt so I can see the errors at a glance.

After totally changing the permissions on everyones home directories using Robocopy...I figured I'd better ask. I'm moving some leftover home directories from one server to another and got the bright idea to use Robocopy GUI to do this. Read the help file, did some googlefuing, thought I had it nailed. Set the source path: I:\\users\test (just a test folder with some files and sub folders) Set the target path: G:\\users\ (just a mapped drive to the other server) Copy options: /copyall and /move (so that it would move the folder/subdirs and keep the securities that I had placed on it) Ran the script and checked the other server. Yep...that was the plan... It moved the file I:\\users\test\filename.txt to G:\\users\filename.txt <not under the test folder> and didn't create the Test folder or any sub folders. I had *thought* it would create the folder and sub folders and set the perms...but apparently I was mistaken. Can someone point me in the right direction? <I don't want to have to reset all the bloody home directory perms again!> TIA!
