Robocopy's /MT option disables /NP option

There seems to be a bug in the Win7 version of Robocopy: the "Multi Threded" options seems to disable "No Progress" option:
robocopy c:\users\Public\Robocopy-Test\in c:\users\Public\Robocopy-Test\out /nfl /np /mt /e /dcopy:t /r:0 /w:0 /log:Robo-Test.txt

The only way I found to fix this is NOT to use the /MT option, e.g.:
robocopy c:\users\Public\Robocopy-Test\in c:\users\Public\Robocopy-Test\out /nfl /np /e /dcopy:t /r:0 /w:0 /log:Robo-Test.txt

Is there a way to use the /MT option without filling the log with "100%"s?

Hi Is_mstn,
Yes, we can repro this issue on my side. And we have added it into our bug database.
Thank you for reporting it. I think it should be fixed soon. :)
Thanks again.
Hi Zhang, can you report on if this ever is going to get resolved. As you can see many people are still seeing the problem, as is I.
Would be nice if you, or someone from Microsoft could provide some feedback.
Cheers,
Justin

  • Robocopy Log File - Skipped files - Interpreting the Log file

    Hey all,
    I am migrating our main file server that contains approximately 8TB of data. I am doing it a few large folders at a time.  The folder below is about 1.2TB.  Looking at the log file (which is over 330MB) I can see it skipped a large number of files,
    however I haven't found text in the file where it specifies what was skipped, any idea on what I should search for?
    I used the following Robocopy command to transfer the data:
    robocopy E:\DATA Z:\DATA /MIR /SEC /W:5 /R:3 /LOG:"Z:\Log\data\log.txt"
    The final log output is:

    I assume some are files that are in use but others may be permissions issues, does the log file detail why a file is not copied?
    TIA
    Carl

    Hi.
    Files that are skipped are files that already exists. Files that are open/permissions etc will be listed under failed. As Noah said use /v too see which files were skipped. From robocopy /?:
    :: Logging Options :
    /V :: produce Verbose output, showing skipped files.

  • Robocopy can not ignore timestamps

    Hi,
    trying to copy 2TB of files without touching the timestamps to a ReadyNAS NVX, but robocopy always adds option /COPY:T
    Running robocopy /MIR /COPY:DSO /R:0 /W:0 says in the header:
    Options : *.* /S /E /DCOPY:D /COPY:DTSO /PURGE /MIR /R:0 /W:0
    Windows Server is 2008 R2 and robocopy version June 2012.
    Even if I use /NOCOPY all files get touched by robocopy.
    It seems robocopy can not set the change date.
    But it might be a bug, that it's not possible to prevent robocopy from touching all timestamps.
    Any hints?

  • I need help setting Win7 Advanced attributes for the USB drive connected to my EA4500 router

    I can drill down to the Permission Entry for [foldername] window for a folder on the USB drive. There I learn that user group Everyone does not have the Full Control permission box checked. When I check the box and then click Apply, I get an Error Applying Security window. If I click Continue there, I get a Windows Security window that says "Unable to save permission changes on [foldername]. Access is denied." with no way out but an OK button.
    I have Administrative authority in Win7, but maybe I need to know some Unix voodoo to come to terms with my router-mounted drive. I put the drive on the router to make always available, and I'd like to get it to work. For example, I can't turn the archive bit off for any file or folder on that drive when it's mounted on the router. Not with ATTRIB -A and not with XCOPY /M.
    Just to stuff it in my face, XCOPY /M returns a two-line error message for every sub-folder that exists in the target folder:
    Access denied
    Unable to create directory - foldername
    Help! And thanks in advance.
    :+)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Bill Dennes,
    (Solutions/Work-Arounds below this paragraph, but sets up some useful information.)
    As for the Security tab, I'm unsure of exactly why it doesn't appear on the tab itself for folders; however, clicking "Advanced -> Change Permissions -> Edit" will display the permissions; although, this doesn't appear to be a part of the problem in a sense. Additionally, “Everyone” always only has read & execute and is also not a part of the issue. To go further with this, the only users that have delete permission are “0” and “root” and since we can delete, we “should” be logged in as one of them and as such have “Full Control.”
    As for the drive type, I'm unsure of why it "changes" it from FAT32 to NTFS (probably something to do with how it handles permissions); however, this is also not a part of the issue.
    I have a flash drive formatted to FAT32, albeit only a 4GB and on an EA6500 with secure sharing enabled, that it does these both to and "xcopy testfolder Y:\ /e /m" works on it when all files and folders have the A attribute; however, disabling secure sharing makes it fail.
    I’ve looked further into this and there are three ways I know of, as of right now, to make copying files with the bat file work for you:
    The first way is to enable secure sharing and map the drives using it, once that is done you won’t need to enter the password again and your script will work as you currently have it coded. Given you have no need for the secure sharing, but it’s a simple solution. This is also the only way to be able to modify any attributes, although the only ones I know of that it will accept are R and A.
    The second way is to instead use ROBOCOPY with the options /e, /m, and /copy:dt.
    For example: "robocopy testfolder Y:\ /e /m /copy:dt"
    /e = Copy subdirectories, including empty ones. (or use /S which will not copy empty folders)
    /m = Copy only files with the Archive attribute and reset it.
    /copy:dt = Copy data and timestamps, does not copy attributes, security, owner info, or auditing info.
    The only important option to use is /copy:dt, the others can be replaced with whatever you need. Note that things like Song Author will still get copied as they are a part of the data section. I don’t believe XCOPY supports doing this, and in either case robocopy is a better solution that comes with Windows Vista and up, and can be gotten for those below Vista.
    The third way is to add a section to the script to remove attributes from all folders before using xcopy to copy to the NAS, or modify the section that is causing the folders to have the A attribute as xcopy will gladly still copy them with /E or /S enabled.
    The issue seems to be that when secure sharing is off, the server refuses attribute changing of folders, which is what is causing XCOPY to fail, as I suspect it attempts to change the attributes on the folders. Similarly, using robocopy without /copy:dt will also fail but gives you “Error 5 … changing file attributes [folder/path] Access is denied”. This is why I suspect that when XCOPY says “unable to create directory” that it is actually trying to change the attributes of the directory. Furthermore, it seems that the reason this works while secure sharing is on is that while it is on, the server pretends to accept the attributes but in reality ignores all attributes besides R. The server then adds the A attribute to all files put onto it, which you can only modify when secure sharing is enabled for some reason. The exception to this is that in either case, any file with the “H” (hidden) attribute, will not be copied, even if explicitly told to copy it. (This is true for both robocopy and xcopy; you also cannot manually add it afterwards.)
    Is there an issue with the files on the NAS having the A attribute? If so the only way I currently know of to get rid of it is to enable secure sharing and have the script remove the attribute after copying. For example, when you look at the permissions, the user "0" and “root” have full control as I've previously stated. You can tell Windows to specifically use one of them when mapping the drive, which in turn should give you full control; however, the server still refuses modifying attributes without secure sharing on for some strange unknown reason. Although, I am no "UNIX gearhead," so there may in fact be another way that I do not know of. The only time they are not listed as “Full Control” on my end is when a file was previously marked Read-Only, in which case they all share the same limited control. When I said in the beginning that the permissions are not a part of the problem in a sense, it’s more of that for the general case of what you need to do, they aren’t the problem as long as you don't need the R attribute and having the A isn't an issue, as it seems to be more of the server is refusing attributes even though we should have permission; however, they do appear to be a bit weird and are possibly displaying incorrect when secure sharing is disabled.
    I'd like to apologize in advance for any unclear, weirdly stated, or just plain odd things said in this post as I was pulled away to do a bunch of things and ended up editing, adding things, and finishing it late into the night and hope that one of the above is an acceptable resolution to your issue.

  • Automatic file synchronization suggestions

    Hello all
    I have received the following request from one of our local administrators.
    My wish is to do this the most "sophisticated" way possible, but without using any third-party software.
    Can I kindly ask you for any suggestions what might be the best approach to implement this, please?
    Both servers are on the same domain.
    Here is the request:
    We need an automatically copy of data between two servers.
    This should be on a daily base at 17.30 local time.
    Source:               
    \\%server1%\Shared\folder1\folder2\folder3\
    Destination:      
    \\%server2%\Shared\folder1\folder2
    Task:                     Copy, changed and new, files and folders, but don’t delete the files/folders in the Destination if they are deleted in the Source.
    When:                  Workdays at 17.30 local time (GMT +1)
    EDIT: 
    Is robocopy an option in this case?
    The IT guys from LukOIL

    Yes, robocopy is an option. It's what I use for daily backup scripts of some servers. Never had a problem with it.
    I have prepared a command that I think might do for what we need.
    robocopy \\%server1%\Shared\folder1\folder2\folder3 \\%server2%\Shared\folder1\folder2 /E /MAXAGE:14 /MON:15 /XO /XL /XX /IT /L /LOG+:E:\Shared\IM\_robocopy_logs\robocopy_log_file.log
    Can you please review it for me?

  • Edit Page options in ribbon disabled after applying modified Seattle Master Page

    Hi,
    I'm working on a modified version of the Seattle.master page, and I have an odd permissions issue that is seen when my user (a farm admin) tries to edit a page on the site. On some pages, clicking Edit Page doesn't do anything at all. On others, I've been
    able to go into edit mode but not do anything with the Edit options afterward. In this scenario, most or all of the useful edit options are disabled, and I cannot use Save, Checkout, Discard the Checkout, Change the Page Layout, etc...
    Checking the JavaScript console in IE reveals this JS error that I don't see in the OOTB Seattle:
    SCRIPT5007: Unable to set value of the property 'href': object is null or undefined 
    [our.site.com], line 1128 character 590
    Here's the function being referenced:
    function _cUpdconetidProjectPropertyTitleGraphic(data, ctrl){ ctrl.href = slNavUrl; }
    Other possibly helpful information:
    Here is a snippet from the modified Seattle Master Page of where the ribbon code sits:
    <div id="s4-workspace" class="ms-core-overlay">
    <div id="s4-bodyContainer">
    <SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl runat="server" AuthenticationRestrictions="AnonymousUsersOnly">
    <wssucw:Welcome runat="server" EnableViewState="false" />
    </SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>
    <div id="ms-designer-ribbon">
    <PublishingRibbon:PublishingRibbon runat="server"/>
    </div>
    As you can see, I have moved the Ribbon (div#ms-designer-ribbon) from its fixed position outside of the div#s4-workspace to inside of the div#s4-bodyContainer so that it scrolls with the page. Placing the ribbon inside div#s4-bodyContainer shouldn't be an issue,
    as I've made a Design Manager Master Page in the past and placed the ribbon there as well without issue.
    Does anyone know how I can get this modified Seattle master page to allow editing?

    Hi,
    Is there any custom JavaScript in it, sometimes error may occur due to some typo.
    Suppose that we can do the customization like this: With a copied master page, we can apply a part of the change first, then check it in the browser to make sure it can work without affecting the OOTB features. Then apply other parts one by one with immediate
    examinations...
    By doing this, it would be easier to find out which step in your whole customization would cause the issue.
    Best regards

  • How to disable dangerous options in on screen keyboard in kiosk mode?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to make a kiosk like application based on Windows 7. I run locked down IE in kiosk mode and that's quite OK.
    However when I run the OSK.exe (on screen keyboard) - it has two dangerous buttons: Options (where I can click on "Control whether the On-Screen Keyboard starts when I log on" link and then run Windows explorer, and Help (where I can go to Options, and then
    click on "Read the privacy statement online" link that brings me fresh IE).
    Is there way to disable in OSK those two buttons? 
    For instance, when I run OSK on logon screen it hides the Help button and the dangerous link in the Options button, so it's possible at least for MS. Is it possible for plain customers?
    Thanks in advance,
    Nikolai.
    WBR, Nikolai

    Hi,
    Based on my test and research, I’m afraid that the two options of On-screen Keyboard may not be disabled.
    Instead, you can use
    Tablet PC Input Panel and see how it works.
    Hope this helps.

  • The left-click options in the web browser are disabled in the latest version

    In all the previous versions of firefox I've had no issues in the drop down menu when left-clicking to either open a link in a new tab or save highlighted text or even saving an image to my drive. However now with the latest update (20.0.1) I have come across something which disturbs me by the full length of the drop down menu (too long, too much stuff on it) and half the options are disabled, which makes it harder for me to surf the web as I am used to doing. I have taken a screenshot of my issue . I hope it will help. Also, that my OS is windows 7. http://www.darkworlds.se/images/other/firefx20bug.jpg

    This is a problem related to having an outdated version of Firebug, most likely you've disabled automatic update of addons.
    The easiest way to fix this is to go to Tools -> Addons, and then clicking the wheel button up near the search field. From there you choose "Check for Updates" and unless you need specific versions of an addon, choose the "Update addons automatically" while you are there.
    You will most likely have to update Firebug twice, as it updates to an outdated version, and from there to the newest one.
    This is the solution I stumbled upon as I had the same exact problem, where I tried creating a new profile and the likes.

  • Disable Drill options only for one dimension of  Web Analysis report

    Hi,
    Please help me on below issue.
    I created a web analysis report with 3 dimensions Accounts, MRC and Measure. I have to disable drill down and drill up options only for Measure. Accounts and MRC should be drillable where as Measure should show the selected member as static and not drillable.
    Thanks

    Hi Swetha,
    You must've realized that- Even if you select only the desired members, you end up being able to drill-down unwanted members. Correct ? :)
    The only way, I believe, is- To create a users' group at your Data source side, perhaps, Essbase & provision this new group with a Metaread filter which prevents him/her from Drilling down to the leaf node.
    PS: Giving Read access might also let the user not see the data for children. But, if you want to hide the members also, Metaread+ is the way to go.
