Loginscript - copy file only if newer

[macroy73]

Have tried to get a loginscript to copy only if orginal file is updater/newer that for the client.

Today we always copy this and some other files
-----
fso.CopyFile "\\fpsserver4\ToolsOst\outcopy\3\PENGRAP32.MDB", "U:\3\Pengrap32.mdb", true
-----
Is there any way to add attribs to the script or how to fix this question.

bind to both files using:

Set objFileSource = FSO.GetFile("\\fileA")
Set objFileDest = FSO.GetFile("\\fileB")
compare the datelastmodified? presume you arent going to run into time difference issues? might need to use some sort of jscript wsf file include for this?
If objFileSource.DateLastModified > objFileDest.DateLastModified Then
fso.CopyFile
End If

i would advise you check for the existance of both the source and target first
then you can copy to the target if the target doesnt exist...and you wont get run times.
I would seriously advise you to create a log file for your entire logonscript, have it log to central location named accorfing to username / machine name. have it time stamp each entry, have it log at every chance it gets (you might want to write to a temp local location then copy it up afterwards)

You could also use ROBOCOPY with the /XO switch.

I hope that helps.
