I need to syncronize 2 folders so that when a file is added in one it is automaticlly copied to the second folder. Whats the best way to do this in W2k server
You could use OpalisRobot (
www.jsiinc.com/catalog/opalis.htm) to monitor the
folder and fire a bactch that copies the new file. It uses almost no resources.
You could schedule a batch to start when the system starts. The batch to
periodically run ROBOCOPY to synchronize the folder. Robocopy is a reskit tool,

You could script a batch to start when the system starts that records the state
of the folder to a file (dir /b). It could then periodically check and copy new
files and update the state. It could sleep (reskit) between checks.
