Need to script the copying of network shares

[Councilk]

Hello all,

I know there are several ways to skin a cat however, I need to skin the cat a certain way.

I'm trying to write a script to copy the share\folder along with the permissions.

I used the "Xcopy /o" which appears to do the job, so I'm guessing the approach would be to script it where I use the CmdLine to do this via the script.

Or does anyone else have a solution on how best to write this up

Thanks again for all youe help in the past and assistance with this is really appreciated

I strongly recommend using Robocopy.

Thanks PScott,

I was told that Robo has some special use in this environment here and to avoid any confusion (?)

a seperate VB script is needed, can you expand on this because I have used it in the past unless this is something new with a later version of this product

Hello all

I found that I could use some other third party tool however, I would like to get this to work using VB and here's what I have so far..

Well, I might want to call this Pseudo syntax (lol)
But this is the logical approach I was trying to come up with...
========== Script ===================================

Option Explicit
'On error resume next

dim strcomputer
dim wmiNS
dim wmiQuery
dim objWMIService
dim colItems
dim objItem
dim objFso
dim objShare
dim sfolder
dim dfolder

strComputer = "."
wmiNS = "\root\cimv2"
Set objWMIService.ExecQuery(wmiQuery)

For Each objItem in colItems
sfolder = objItem.Item
Wscript.Echo "Name: " & objItem.name)

Call CopyShareSub
Next

Sub CopyShareSub
' Testing to see if sfolder stores the value from colItems
Wscript.echo(sfolder & "Here it is!")
objFSO.CopyFolder "\\" & server & "\" & "sfolder"
End Sub

Any assistance with this script is greatly appreciated

Thanks!
