Help with executing remote commands using ROBOCOPY

Using combination of WMIC and ROBOCOPY to execute remote batch script.

WMIC is charged with executing the remote command line and running a batch script:
C:\>WMIC.EXE /NODE:CORPBACCONBPM /User:CORPBACCOBBPM\richo /PASSWORD:mypassword
Process Call Create Commandline=C:\netcopy.bat

The above referenced netcopy.bat executes a ROBOCOPY command
robocopy "C:\C1" "X:\C2" /MIR /COPYALL /V /NC /NDL /NP /B /NFL /LOG:"C:\MYLOGFILE.log" /R:10 /W:30 /ETA

When deploy.bat is executed I get the error:
NTFS Security may not be copied - Destination may not be NTFS.

I am able to execute deploy.bat wihtout issue while on the remote console.

Thanks!

Here's some information on this. Look at the last couple of comments:

Hi Steve -

Thanks but still can not get beyond the error:
NTFS Security may not be copied - Destination may not be NTFS.

SteveGTR

Is the destination drive NTFS or FAT?

NTFS I have also tried the robocopy with the /SEC switch - what is weird is that this works if I run the robocopy command from the console of remote machine. In other words take the WMIC out of the picture. This also happens when I am using psexec.. thanks

You've also tried using a UNC in place of X:?

Steve -

Is the /B something built in? I am not using it in my command arguments.

I will run the WMIC as a different user.

Thanks

I was looking at your robocopy command:

robocopy "C:\C1" "X:\C2" /MIR /COPYALL /V /NC /NDL /NP /B /NFL /LOG:"C:\MYLOGFILE.log" /R:10 /W:30 /ETA

According to the help on my version of robocopy this is the backup mode switch.
