Looks likely that Win 2003 Server will support the AT command to schedule running your file at specific times provided the support tools are installed.Maybe you want thise : at 5:00PM /interactive /every:Su,M,T,W,Th,F,S cmd /c "path\programm" ?Couldn't you just write a batch file using xcopy and then set a Scheduled Task, via the Control Panel to run every night?Indeed you could samanathon however I don't think the poster is still waiting for an ANSWER.
