Hi, I've noticed that the robocopy log output isn't particulary pretty when using product version XP027 running from Windows 2008 R2 SP1. The log output contains no spaces so it's very difficult to check for errors. I'm using the following switches; /MT:36 /SEC /E /PURGE /R:1 /W:1 /NP /LOG:"C:\pcupdates\robocopy\test.txt" I need to use XP027 in order to make use of the /MT: switch. With XP010 the log output is so much easier to read. Is there a fix for this or workaround? Thanks in advance. Monoman72.

Tested with robocopy.exe version XP027 on Windows 2008 R2, the /LOG switch works fine. The output log is displayed in order with no problem. So, it should not be file version problem. What about replace the current one with a good copy from another server?

Thanks for the reponse Cheers ZHANG. I tried what you suggested, but still couldn't get the output log to behave. However I have realised my mistake. I guess because XP027 is now installed as part of the O/S installation I realised my log format was good only when I ran robocopy from C:\windows\system32. I was not doing this. I'd copied robocopy.exe to another directory and ran it from there, as this is how we call robocopy.exe (XP010 version) in our current scripts.
