Hey,
I'm new to robocopy and I can't get this to work. I'm on a network with about 50 computers (the network is all windows 2000 with windows 2000 server on the servers). Theres an exchange server where I put a logon script for robocopy. I've loaded the robocopy.exe from the resource cd. When I logon to my local machine I can see the script run but when I go to look at the copied files theres nothing there. When I logon to ther server it successfully copies the files. I'm copying the files to a shared drive on network. Here is my script. Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work from my local machine? Do I have to have the robocopy utilit put on all the computers on the network?
robocopy C:"\Documents and Settings"\%username%"\My Documents" J:\\Backup\My_Documents /e /XF *.pst *.mp3 *.mpeg *.mpg
robocopy C:"\Documents and Settings"\%username%"\Desktop" J:\\Backup\Desktop /e /XF *.pst *.mp3 *.mpeg *.mpg

Thanks in advance,

**Jayson**
