no just direct dos commands on window 2000

You could use the Windows Task Scheduler to launch XCOPY with the /D option.

You read the documentation on the /D option.

I downloaded some stuff did not work


so what to download from here


http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/...sdk/sdkupdate/


or some other link

What were you hoping to acheive using the SDK that you couldn't do with a scheduled XCOPY command using the /D option to limit the copied files to a given date or later?

look at next

in 2000 it at start program--accessories ---system--schedule task

where it is on window nt 4

The GUI scheduler doesn't exist in NT 4.0, although something pretty close exists in the NT Resource Kit.

You can use the AT command to schedule jobs in NT 4.0.

I have configured the at comman


how do i list the at command to see all at commands

You can get the "quick and dirty" list by typing:at the command prompt. You can get more complete documentation by looking in the NT 4.0 help files or Tech-Net, for the AT Command.
