I am looking for a way to xcopy files from one share to another using a batch file. I would like the copy to not prompt or overwrite files that are the same in the destination directory. Any help is appreciated thanks!

Don't use XCOPY. There is a little known utility from the DOS days called replace. Replace lets you only copy files that aren't there, or update files with a newer date. Go to a cmd prompt and type replace /? to see the usage.

or if you have the Resource Kit use Robocopy. Type robocopy /??? for information at a CMD prompt.
