Need to automate a process... simple?

Asked by mark-wa in Windows 2000 Operating System

Tags: automate, processes

Hi,

Background info:  I have a win2k domain environment running AD.  

I have a machine that runs a program that delegates which of our transcriptionists are going to get which dictations from which doctors.  We like to store the sent dictations for a period of time in case we need to recover something periodically.  This folder can get rather large and cause disk space issues until it's purged.  The delegate program cannot be modified to put this "Out" folder on a different drive or network location.

So here's my question.  Can anyone help me come up with a way to automatically move this data from it's current location into a secondary location (secondary drive, network drive, etc...)

Example:  The folder is located at c:\program files\nch swift sound\expressdelegate\Out

The contents of that "Out" folder is what I'd like to have moved automatically either daily, say at login, or when the folder reaches a certain size, or ..... ?

Hope that made sense.  Thanks.
