Using Robocopy across domain
I'm attempting to use a scheduled task to robocopy files from a folder on a server on one domain to a folder on a server on an untrusted domain. I choose to run the task using my trusted domain credentials, but when the task runs I get an error letting me know there is a logo failure: unknown user name or bad password.
I know this is because I have different credentials on the untrusted domain. Is there a way to remedy this? I have read something about creating a batch file but I do not know how to incorporate that in my scheduled task. Thanks!

I guess I'm not familiar enough with this to be able to use it. I'm a bit lost at this poing...tried to run the net command but had no luck.
Interesting scenario. Look at Robocopy's -b option I think. Where -b is for backup mode.
But you still have to be able to reach a share. Share permissions everyone and locked down NTFS perms, might work.

Well for the you will need to give something for the scheduled task to run, in this case a script that uses psexec is recommended and at this point you will need to figure out if you want to use VB script or just a simple batch file to kick off the robo copy job. It's tricky when you need move stuff across non-trusted domains. Check out psexec it may be the best bet to kick off the robo copy job as it has a method of connecting to remote machines via IP.
