Query partitions from batch file

[Adrian]

I am trying to mass copy certain files from the
workstations to a network share. On some instances the
client computer has more than one logical drive (C. Is
there anyway to run the standard commands (i.e. dir,
xcopy, etc.) for all the local drives automatically? Is
there an environmental variable that list the local (non-
removable) drives? Thanks for your help.

Assuming NT4/2000, give this a whirl:-

@echo off & setlocal ENABLEEXTENSIONS
for %%a in (c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) do (
chkntfs %%a: 2>nul>nul && (echo/%%a: is a fixed drive)
)

If is displays the drive letters you expect, then replace the echo
statement with you copy command (use %%a: to refer to the drive).

For XP/2003 you can do something similar with FSUTIL (IIRC)

Seems not to be working. I also forgot that some of the

worksations may not have NTFS as file system. Any other
ideas. Thanks very much for your help.

Convert them ASAP or change the target statement to something
like:-

chkntfs d:|find "system" >nul && (echo/%%a: is a fixed drive)
