Hi everyone.

I have a bit of a dilema..... which is causing me a few headaches.

our marketing department would like me to find the best way to place the corporate templates in a folder on the laptop users machine that will be scanned upon login and if there are any updates to the templates these will be pushed to the laptop users machine.

I was initially thinking of a dos batch file, but how would you be able to compare the files to see if there have been any changes? So then I hit upon the idea of using Kixtart, but as I am a newbie, this is more of a challenge than I first thought of.

So if anyone can assist then that would be appreciated.

Cheers, C.

ok I'll take a look at that. Not sure how that will fit into the network environment though.

You can download it from the Server 2003 Tools and install it on XP. Once you have it then you can use the file ROBOCOPY.EXE anywhere as it is a standalone file.

It will work just fine in your Corporate environment. I've used it for years in a few places and it's a fantastic utility written by Microsoft.
