#154227 - 2005-12-29 06:09 PM Problem with COPY
sascha sascha Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-12-29 Posts: 5 Loc: Germany	Sorry if my question is too easy for all of you, but I don't have any ideas on it. I'm trying to copy some files at logon from a server's share to local drive Code: COPY "\\server\share\grp\element\." "%TEMP%\Startmenu\Programme\." /s this one always returns ERROR 3 (Path not found) if I do it with the shell command like this it works Code: SHELL "cmd /c xcopy \\server\share\grp\element\. %TEMP%\Startmenu\Programme\. /s" the one with the copy command also works on a windows server 2003 when a user logs on via terminal services, but when a user logs on locally to a w2k pro it fails. any ideas?` Thanks sascha

Verify that the path is available during logon. Maybe the path is not ready during logon yet.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Does nobody read the manual anymore! It does indicate that /s is a valid switch and it also clearly states that: Quote: ; If the target (directory) does not exist, and the target specification ; does not have a trailing backslash, COPY will fail with ; errorcode 3 ("path not found") _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

sascha sascha Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-12-29 Posts: 5 Loc: Germany	Hi all, first of all, thanks for all the replies, I found the problem somewhere else in the script, it seemed to be a timing problem wit the directory creation. Somehow xcopy seems to create the directory if it is not existend. Sorry for inconveniences, but still have to mention, that I DID read the manual ;-) Sascha
