Hi to all,

Problem: XCOPY failure from a batch file (I suspect this is an active directory security/policy issue which is why this is posted here)

1.We have an XCOPY batch script to copy a bunch of directories and files.
2.It's trigered manually
3.It uses a mapped drive (S:) to copy source and target through
4.It works for users who are domain admins, and fails with 'access denied' for non domain admins. When it fails it does create the top level folder copy but nothing else.
5. All users have full control access to all the data paths and files involved in the batch file
6. Users are a member of their local administrators groups when running the file from their (XP) clients
7. Users have full access to cmd.exe on the local and remote system
8. The server runs SBS so is a domain controller
9. Users were added to the 'logon as batch' setting through the domain controller policy without effect.
10. Users can manually copy the directory structure and file and paste without problems
11. Adding users to the backup operators group has no effect

Any thoughts or suggestions as to where the problem may be?

Cheers
