Accessing W2K Pro drives

by peter bate . Updated 25 years, 11 months ago

Hi there,

I am writing a batch file to clone a file to multi W2K Pro workstations. When I run the script such as:

copy c:\test\test.txt \\computername\c$\temp

from the Winnt 4.0 PDC as Administrator, I get an error message:
“The network path was not found”

When I try a basic directory listing on the \\computername\c$, the same error occurs. However it will work fine from another W2K Pro workstation logged on as Administrator!!

I don’t want to map drives here becuase the batchfile relies on a for command to do multiple computers at once and I’d rather keep the cloning at the server, rather than my own PC.

What schmucky thing am I missing here!!

Your answer would be greatly appreciated!!

Regards,
Peter Bate
