AOL Tech Support states very plainly that you must use version 5 on NT4 or NT3.n systems.
They claim that later versions of AOL will automatically install version 5 when an NT OS is detected.
FWIW -- I am using a Robocopy command that exactly matches the one you provided in your post. I used to use the AT command, but to often it would not work and would not give an error message. Now I use the scheduled jobs folder in NT or 2K. SO!!! I would suggest that you try running your...

Some Main Boards have this problem. ASUS CUSC series is famous for it. I finally replaced the ASUS board with another brand and NO MORE PROBLEM.
So it would be useful to find out if other PCs with the same Main Board/Power Supply are having the same problem. If there are others with this...
On Win 2K, the installation software should assign your Modem to the next available COM port. If COM1 and COM2 are showing in Device Manager, I would assume that the BIOS is setting them up. When you then install the Modem it should default to COM3.
You can use the "Install New...
Have you cosidered booting from the W2K CD? Alternatively use a DOS floppy ("http://bootdisk.com" has several disc images available) and reformat the drive.
FWIW: On a new W2K Machine I just built, the registry is presently at 14 Megs, I set the Max at 100 Megs. I have a 30Gig HD for the system.
Its more a trade off based on how much HD space you have.
The NT Server Resource Kit has a utility, "ADDUSERS", that will ouput/input a user list. I think that the only thing it does not do is maintain the user's password. An Administrator will have to manually set up passwords.
I have had the same message when AOL was loaded on machines at start-up. Also with some other programs that used the modem and did not release it. Re-booting forces the application to release the port.
Suggest you use Task Manager to examine the services that are running when the problem...
Use of the MS Timeserv Service will solve your problem. Use any one computer in your LAN, that has a modem on it, as the Primary time server for the LAN. Have all of the other computers synchronize to the Primary one. I have posted a FAQ on how to do this on the NT Server Forum.
MS Timeserv...
I tried to make this a FAQ but there is some bug in that path.
SO!!!!!
I found that using timeserv was very easy.

Why don't you just use the MS SERVICE "Timeserv" from the NT Resource kit. Once it is installed it will synchronize the local machine's clock with a master clock (on any machine in your network) at whatever frequency you choose.
