xcopy help
Hi,
I have an XCOPY command:
xcopy "E:\apps\Hyperion\common\i
It runs and starts copying then it just quits and stops and is not copying all the subfolders and folders. Am i doing something wrong? Is there a better command to copy an entire directory?

I use the /s/h/e/r/c/k/y switches with XCOPY to copy everything and continue on errors.

Nope.. Still stops... It's only happening from a certain server too. What on gods earth could possibly be happening on a specific server all of a sudden. This XCOPY was working flawlessly uptil a few days ago....
Here's the technet article that shows you all the syntax options.

If you're not opposed to using robocopy, have a look at my solution here.

Client will not allow Robocopy to be installed :(
Can you try a mapped drive instead of UNC for the destination?

Another note is that you might consider shortening and simplifying your folder/directory naming structure beforehand. This might be causing an issue as well.

It's a folder length issue... When I actually watch the cmd window an error pops up about 'out of memory'. It's not a actual RAM issue or anything. Further investigation shows it's limited to 255 total characters. Thus my source and destination combined sometimes was over that. So I shortened it for now as best I could and it's working but it's hard as the software determines the path where these xml files are stored.....
I know how you feel. I've dealt with this in the past, and it's no fun! I'm glad to hear we have some functionality finally.
