Explorer has it's own rules and is so limited so, no, when an error occurs, it will
stop copying without a response from you or just close all together. There are better
programs/utilities that can replace Explorer, and much more powerful.
I have used Powerdesk
http://eu.v-com.com/product/PowerDesk_Pro_Home.html
on peer to peer for years, but if you are in a server system in your company, you
wouldn't believe the amount of permissions that are available. Some are set by default
unless changed by the admin. I don't know if Powerdesk can be used in environment
such as yours. I've never tried it like that. Since I don't know your companies
config, and can't see how the server/system is set up, I/we can't give specific info.
Yes, there are issues over a network if the correct commands aren't used (and a host
of other issues), and XCOPY can fail in multiple instances, but again, really trying
to troubleshoot these types of issues from a forum is just about impossible. If
you are using W2K/XP Pro, then you can have issues with permissions set at both the
server and the workstations. Only your IT would know that. That's one reason the
admin (if it isn't you) should be the one involved, even from the standpoint of "if
something goes wrong" it is their butt on the line as well as yours. :-(
As for writing a script, it may be possible and it may not. Again it comes back
to what I just described earlier. It is just about impossible to help on a forum
when we don't know and can't see what you are working with... :-(
What I do know is that there may be options to automatically do some (if not all)
of what you want. It just depends on the capability of your IT staff and their knowledge
of available software and how best to supply the needs of your company. Today, there
are few things that can't be done with the correct software, knowledge of the systems
in use and how to implement the same for the clients and employees needs.
Sorry if it sounds like a rant, but you might be surprised on how many businesses
fall into a catagory of not properly administering and securing their systems, and
not withstanding, suppling their employees with the correct support to enhance and
improve their productivity..
