You could use the set command in your batch file. &nbsp;the batch file would look like this.<br />
<br />
Set svr1=server1<br />
set svr2=server2<br />
set svr3=server3<br />
<br />
xcopy c:\folder \\svr1\vol1\folder /e /i<br />
xcopy c:\folder \\svr2\vol1\folder /e /i<br />
xcopy c:\folder \\svr3\vol1\folder /e /i

Thank You - one little /f off, and pow, it worked. &nbsp;Also had to change the list to a single column and ditch the commas

Trying to run an Xcopy to copy a folder from a single server to multiple servers. &nbsp;Would like to have the server list on a text document rather than imbedded in the xcopy.<br />
<br />
This is the general idea of what I am trying to do, but it just tries to copy to &quot;\\c:\svrlst.txt\vol1\inst<wbr />alls&quot;<br />
for %%a in (c:\svrlst.txt) do xcopy c:\folder \\%%a\vol1\folder /e /i<br />
<br />
---svrlst.txt---<br />
server1, server2, server3<br />
----------------<br />
<br />
I know the following line works, but I would like the list in a txt file that is easier to manage:<br />
for %%a in (server1, server2, server3) do xcopy c:\folder \\%%a\vol1\folder /e /i

How do I Xcopy to multiple destinations using a list in a .txt file?

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.

Microsoft DOS

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
