I have a peculiar scenario wherein I would like to move files from a specific folder on one system to another both Windows Server 2003 which are on different domains. I wrote a batch script for creating a Mapped drive and moving the files on to the destination system and everything is working fine only if I am logging in to the destination server. I would like to know if there is any other way this would work even if I am not logged in to the destination system.Vinay Kumar Redishetty

You would have to create a share on the destination that has no security, try giving 'Everyone' read/write access.

You can use ROBOCOPY to get this done easily. Refer the technet site to get more details http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733145(v=ws.10).aspxShaba

Thanks Shaba. I thought of Robocopy however the problem is that the Server does not have Robocopy. I could not install that as I would need permission from the client to install it. Are there any known issues when we install Robocopy from Microsoft Resource Kit. Thanks, VinayVinay Kumar Redishetty

No there are no issues using Robocopy. http://www.arabitpro.com

I work in Robocopy. And I'm very happy.

Vinay, Did it worked?Shaba

I am waiting on confirmation from client to proceed with installing the Robocopy from Microsoft Resource Kit. Thanks for checking. I will ensure to inform you on the progress. Thanks, Vinay Vinay Kumar Redishetty

Hi Shaba, I finally got the approval from client and installed the Robocopy and when I try to execute it, I am getting an error 1326 (Logon Failure: Unknown User Name or Bad Password). The issue here is the Login for both the servers are different and we would not be able to add the user of 1 server on the other. Any inputs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, VinayVinay Kumar Redishetty

I don't see a direct switch for providing credentials. Try if you can share a folder on the destination server and give read write access to the user account used in the source server.Shaba
