xcopy problem with /d switch

R

Ronald Rondeau

I have some batch files that I run from a Windows 2000
workstation with SP4 installed. These batch files use the
command

xcopy *.* destination /d /s /i /r /y

I use some of these batch file to copy files from a Novell
server, with long file names enabled, to the Windows 2000
box, and from the workstation to the network.

Can anyone tell me why it is not working and what the
fix is.

Can you tell us what "not working" means and what the error or symptom is?

Tne error is the fact that the /d switch without s date is
supost to cause xcopy to only copy source files that are
newer than the files at the destination. By not working I
mean that ALL files are copied even when I execute the
batch file back to back so there should be no newer files
