Copying files

[Guest]

Is there anyway to copy 4-5 files to multiple computers in a domain to a specific directory from one system?

I am trying to update about 10 report files and need to copy them to about 50 machines to a specific directory...any way to do this or have any suggestions?

Re: Copying files

Hyena's Generate Macro function can help with this. You'll select the computers you want to copy the file to in the right window, then go to Tools->Generate macro.

In the Macro Command String box you'll type something like:

xcopy c:\files\*.* \\%E%\c$\path_to_dir

Modify the paths accordingly, then enter an Output File Name of something like c:\copyfiles.bat and click OK.

This will create the copyfiles.bat file with one line per selected computer, and change the %E% with the computer name. Then just run copyfiles.bat.
