I am using SBS 2008, I have Drive J mapped to example "Users\shares\Linda" here is my command line: CD\Users\Linda\Desktop\ XCOPY *.* J:\Notebook\Desktop\*.* /E /H /R /K /Y /J but it can't find J: and errors out. But the shorcut to J is on the desktop and when you double click it, you go to J no problems. What is wrong, or should I use something else besides the old XCopy command?

the J: drive has to be available within the Command Window for XCOPY to be able to target it. Make sure that you can access J: from within the command window, and if you can't you'll have to map it first using NET USE

Don't use the last set of wildcards... the command should be run from the prompt C:\USERS\Linda\Desktop>XCOPY *.* J:\Notebook\Desktop\ /e /h /r /k /y /j r/ johnJohn Wildes | Senior Enterprise Architect | United Airlines | Desktop Engineering

It can't find "J:" or it can't find "J:\Notebook\Desktop\*.*"? Try it without the second "*.*" and see what happens.

That makes more sense, but here is what I used and received a "Invalid Drive Specification" cls net use J: CD\Users\Linda\Desktop\ XCOPY *.* J:\Notebook\Desktop\ /E /H /R /K /Y /J after the net use J: I received the following: Local Name: J: Remote Name: \\SBS2008\Users\Shares\Linda Liebert-Hall Resource Type: Disk The command completed successfully. I must still be using it wrong. Thanks for your help!

As odd as it may sound, it looks like it might actually be expanding the UNC name and it doesn't like the space. Try this command instead: XCOPY *.* "\\SBS2008\Users\Shares\Linda Liebert-Hall\Notebook\Desktop\" /E /H /R /K /Y /J Note the quotes around the UNC path name.
