xcopy not working on the server 2003

I use to xcopy files in Win XP using following cmd (works fine)

xcopy "\\<server>\sites\sitename\Doclib\*.doc" \\SharedFolder\temp\ /D /Y

but when i try on Server 2003 It fails with error "The network path was not found."

when i try on Run(server 2003) it says no network provider accpeted given path.(fine in XP)

Hw to fix it?

There is no reason it should not work - it is still sitting on my 2003 server. It lives in the c:\windows\system32 folder.
What service pack are you running?

Akhater

on the 2003 server where it is failing can you access

\\<server>\sites\sitename\Doclib and \\SharedFolder\temp\

what is SharedFolder anyway is it a server name ? it doesn't look like a proper UNC to me

this is sharepoint docuLib " \\<server>\sites\sitename\Doclib\" so that i tag sharepoint.
Even it is not working on server when i put
dir " \\<server>\sites\sitename\Doclib\"
but working in winXP
version :Server 2003 ,ent ,SP2

Akhater

not dir
just start run \\<server>\sites\sitename\Doclib\

what is the result ?

when i try on Run(server 2003) it says "no network provider accpeted given path".(same cmd working in XP)

Akhater

start run cmp

ping <server>

make sure the Web Client service is running on the server.
