Robocopy works, well sort of

I tested robocopy across our WAN link today. I need to build into the script a net send command to force a login on the remote server. The machines I am robocopying to/from are on different domains. Other than that the script sent the files just fine. The only problem is that it broke the web site we were testing in the process.

Turns out that currently our sites have connection information to our DB’s built into files in the web folders. If I am syncing these files between multiple servers this information will be different on all of them. If I do a sync now, it will break that file and thus kill the site. Miguel one of our ASP developers is working on a fix for it. We will meet to discuss tomorrow. We also want to see if we have issues with files being in use, and file locks. That is another test we will run. More information after we meet and discuss tomorrow.
