Using robocopy to copy a directory with out changing file/folder metadata
I am trying to make an exact copy of a directory using robocopy. I need to be able to copy the directory without showing the date modifed as today's date.
Syntax i am using:
robocopy z:\folderpath\folder\direcotry x:\directory\copy\ /e /R:3 /w:30
If i add /copyall i get permission errors, same if i use /copy:datsu
IF anyone has any information for performing this tasks it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone who posted. I really appreciate the help. Our DOS prompt defaults to our user directory so i just moved a copy of the new robocopy.exe there and am now running xp026 with no problems!
