How to make Robocopy run in the foreground using Scheduled Tasks

Hello everyone! 
I am doing a daily backup using Robocopy and Scheduled Tasks running Windows 2012 Server. When it runs, robocopy runs in the background and does not write to log that I am pointing to. How can I make it run in the foreground? Also, is there anyway to write to log only those records that have been copied or purged? what are the best practices for robocopy use?
Here is the script:
date /t >> log.txt
time /t >> log.txt
ROBOCOPY \\CENTURY1\d$\ f:\  /MIR /R:0 
time /t >> log.txt

    I have downloaded OS X Mountain Lion from the App Store. It took two hours to download but now its not running and I have no idea how to make it run!
    Download was complete and I accepted everything and restarted computer but its still running 10.7.5
    Any idea how to get OS X Mountain Lion to run?

    What you donwloaded was the OS installer. You still have to do the installation.
    To get started, double click on the download, then double click again and follow instructions.

  • How to make every account in the system login automatically?

    How to make every account in the system login automatically when Mac OS X startup?
    Thanks!

    I can see one way to do it. You'll need to install a script in each user account, and have it set as a login item for each user. Let's imagine you have three user accounts. Each user in Mac OS X has a UID number. Normally your first user has the UID of 501, the second one will be 502 and so on...
    You can determine the UID by running the following AppleScript while logged in on each user:
    do shell script ("ID")
    This'll return a long block of text, but right at the start you'll see the UID number. Let's assume your three users have the UIDs 501, 502 and 503. We begin with 501.
    Create the following script and save it as an application while logged in as 501. Note that the password you're entering is the password for UID 502. Also note that the forum system is creating line breaks where there shouldn't be any. The long "do shell script" line should be one line.
    delay 5 --This delay allows time for login to complete, but it may not be necessary.
    try
    do shell script "/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\\ Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -switchToUserID 502"
    delay 5 --This delay could be shorter or longer, depending on how fast your machine is.
    tell application "System Events"
    keystroke "password for 502" --the password for UID 502
    keystroke return
    delay 1
    end tell
    on error
    display dialog "Unable to switch user."
    end try
    Open System Preferences, go to Accounts, click "login items" and drag your script (saved as an application) to the login items window.
    You basically repeat this process for each user account, modifying the script so it switches to the next user.
    This isn't ideal, because your passwords will be stored in the scripts, and each user could open the scripts and learn the passwords of the other users on that machine.
    I picked some of this up from a discussion over at the Macworld forums:

  • How to make text start at the top of a page in livecycle 9

    Hi, How can I get the text in a large text field to start at the top left of the field rather than at the center of the field? In addition, may one know how to make text wrap in the form as well?
    Thanks,
    David

    To set the Text alignment properties use "Paragraph" pallet you can make it visible by selecting Window>>Paragraph or Shift+F5
    And to allow text wrapping you need to select "Allow Multiple Lines" checkbox under "Object" pallet and "Field" tab. You can make Object pallet visible by selecting Window>>Object or Shift+F7.
    Good Luck,

  • I subscribed for itunes imatch - it works perfectly on my i-pad and iPhone - however on my macbook - my iTunes can no longer find my songs - i don't know how to make it look to the cloud to play my music

    i subscribed for itunes imatch - it works perfectly on my i-pad and iPhone - however on my macbook - my iTunes can no longer find my songs - i don't know how to make it look to the cloud to play my music - i think it keeps trying to find on the external harddrive where i used to keep my music

    Of course iTunes is looking for the music on the external HDD. Enabling iTunes Match does not magically change the location of the iTunes library to the cloud.
    To play the music either plug the external HDD back into your computer or create a new, empty library to use for streaming the iTM content. The latter can be accomplished by holding down the Option key when launching iTunes, choosing "create library" then enabling iTunes Match on the new library. DO NOT have iTunes scan your HDD for music.

  • How to make a restart of the workflow in a process controlled workflow?

    Hi Experts,
    How to make a restart of the workflow in case of process controlled workflow? Scenario is like this:
    The user has created a shopping cart with 1000 USD. The process schema has three process level with the first level being approval with completion.
    The first level being executed by the responsible purchaser. Here, the purchaser adds the source of supply and changes the price of the shopping cart 2000 USD and approve the shopping cart.
    Now, I want the approval task to start from beginning so that the requestor can know the changes and accept/reject the changes.
    Thanks and regards,
    Ranjan

    Hi,
    Restarting workflow goes to 1st level approval step. It is not requester.
    I think you need to set condition for "Acceptance by Contact Person" in Define Process Level.

    Sounds like you have an account, so two options I would say.
    Try turning it off, then off and see what options you get, or sync your phone to iTunes and click on the summary and choose the iCloud option.

  • How to make JDev aware of the xmldb API

    Hi everybody,
    I am a real beginner in Jdev, and I have to develop a
    Java Application using Oracle Java developer, against
    an XML-native database called eXist. I'll have to use
    a java API called xmldb supported by eXist in order to
    interact with the database. Although I have basic
    knowloedge in Object-oriented programming, but I don't
    know where to begin, especially how to make JDev aware
    of the xmldb API, and how to create classical
    application components (Windows, buttons, etc).
    Could you help me with some orientations and
    interesting links?.
    Thanks a lot.
    Mounir.

    Hi,
    don't know this database, but the database vendor should be able to explain how his DB is accessed from Java. If this requires libraries, then the vendor will provide these in JAR files, which you then configure with JDeveloper (as a custom library Tools --> Manage Libraries) or in the Project
    If there is a JDB driver for it, even better. This however is not a deliverable of JDeveloper but the database vendor

  • How to make Nokia Suite remember the position and ...

    how to make Nokia Suite remember the position and the size i set it?
    because everytime i start it, it defaults in the middle of the screen and in the smallest possible size.
    Nokia Suite 3.3.86
    Windows Vista
    Greece Nokia X6 RM-559 v40.0.002

    Again, are you talking about genuine Nokia firmware, not any of some 3rd-party customised versions?
    For officially released firmware, you may force Nokia Suite to reinstall even if your firmware is already up to date. This feature might be missed in its GUI as its link is "hidden" in the prompt message, not on a button or highlighted with underscore. Try Nokia Suite, once the phone is connected, click the icon of Software Update on the top, then click the word "reinstall" in the prompted message.
