That gives me some inspiration for my current 'semi-private' project ...

I was asked to write a script for sideways copies of some(all?) Exchange Server's databases executed on a Workstation in the Domain ... so, after stopping the relevant Exchange services I will trigger a(several?) robocopy command(s) to be executed on the Exchange Server .. (would be speed suicide to execute a copy command on the workstation , copying from server to server )

As this is a medium sized company they're in need of a self explaining / easy to use kind of script (So a progress bar would be nice)

Will try to get the intrinsic robocopy status (percentage) output visualized in the script ... maybe by parsing a copy of the logfile or something like that ... That would, if working, at least preventing 'estimation' overhead ...

Will get back to all with results !
