Hello,

I am doing a migration and I need a batch file or script that will allow me to copy certain files and folders from the useres current pc to the network and then to the new PC in the same location.

So for isntance I need to copy the users signature for outlook.

I tried using robocopy

robocopy "%userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures" "H:\New Directory" /V /NP /R:10 /W:30

now that only copies the files in the signature folder and not the folder itself.

So basically what i want it to do is to copy that folder to the server and then copy it to the new PC in the same location.

any help on this would be great as I am totally lost...

Thanks

I added those switches but it still only copies the contents of the signature folder and not the folder itself.

which folder ? The signature folder or you are talking about subfolders in signature folder. If you are talking about signature folder, then you need to one level up and then copy signature.
