SDNET – all about .NET and computing

I have been working alot lately with Virtual Lab and automatic builds and deployment and today I learned something new
1. xcopy32 does not work on network shares (unless they are mapped to a drive)
2. robocopy messes up deploys because it can return an errorcode different from 0 even if it is just to tell you that he succeeded.

Now robocopy is replacing xcopy in my book and to make robocopy play nice, I add ^& exit 0 at the end. Like this:


robocopy \\networkdrive destpath *.* ^& exit 0
