Windows Server Forum / Windows 2000 / Terminal Services / December 2003Question for Vera
I have 25 users on a Windows 2000 enviroment, 3 locations all on the same domain. We utilize Terminal Services for the 2 remote locations to access our business system (a dos base platform, QP4) we are a retail business. When we run our end of day procedure the business system will do an xcopy of the current folder of the business system depending which location they are, the problem is I can't figure out how to have it copy that folder to the local drive while in TS. Any suggetions? I have a solution for you but since this is for Vera... >-----Original Message----- >I have 25 users on a Windows 2000 enviroment, 3 locations [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >. Well Bob, I'm not particular to Vera, I read some replys to previos posts that Vera made that seemed on the same track as my situation. If you have a recommendation, bring it on. All would be appreciated. Thanks Gene >-----Original Message----- >I have a solution for you but since this is for Vera... [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >> >.

Any suggetions? That's not a very descriptive subject line.... I'm not really sure what you are trying to do. Is the xcopy command initiated by the user while working within a TS session? And the folders must be copied to the clients local drive? Can't you simply connect to the local drive, with something like: net use X: \\clientpc\shared_folder_on_client -- Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server http://hem.fyristorg.com/vera/IT --- please respond in newsgroup --- > I have 25 users on a Windows 2000 enviroment, 3 locations > all on the same domain.

The files currently are not being copied to the local drive. They are being copied to the server accross town. Are you saying to create a share folder on that local drive with that user only and map it in TS at start up, then point the xcopy to that folder? Could that work? >-----Original Message----- >That's not a very descriptive subject line.... [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >> drive while in TS. Any suggetions? >. I still don't get the picture. What is "across town" in terms of network, domain, sites, server, client, etc? Basically, you seem to want to copy files from one computer to another. Copying them to a shared folder seems the easiest to me, but you can do this in a number of ways. I don't understand what you mean by "...with that user only..". You don't have to do the mapping at startup either, just do it in the script that (presumably) starts your end of day procedure. -- Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server http://hem.fyristorg.com/vera/IT --- please respond in newsgroup --- > The files currently are not being copied to the local > drive.

It is a difficult procedure to explain, perhaps this is why the company I bought the software company set it up this way. I want the TS client (user204)to copy the folder Ideal2 (\\master\apps\ideal2) to the local drive instead of to the server, which is located across town. At this point it copies it to \\master\backups\ideal2. >-----Original Message----- >I still don't get the picture.

Anyway, I don't see why the net use command wouldn't work. Just create a shared folder on your destination (local) drive, connect to it within the TS session and copy the \\master\apps \ideal2 folder to it. -- Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server http://hem.fyristorg.com/vera/IT --- please respond in newsgroup --- "Gene" <parts@gru.net> wrote in news:08ec01c3cee5$2d508470 $a501280a@phx.gbl: > It is a difficult procedure to explain, perhaps this is > why the company I bought the software company set it up [quoted text clipped - 60 lines] > local >>>>> drive while in TS.
