Passing credentials with xcopy


DOS Batch

a need to write a windows DOS script in order to automate copying a couple files over out AD network. I can certainly set this up using Windows scheduler, but I need to be able to call this .bat file which would copy the file using a third party scheduler software (ESP). what I'm trying to figure out is how to pass the credentials I need to be able to copy the files. The files are being copied from one windows server to another. aany help would be much appreciated

xcopy doesn't have a way to pass in parameters for the remove machine. You would need to setup the remote scheduler to launch the batch file under the correct credentials.
