Windows Forum
Does anyone have some sample code I could look at that would compare the created date of a file and copy a newer one to that location? Also to append a text file to show the names of computers that were not accessible or were not found,,,etc during the file check and/or copy process.
Cheers

If you are wanting to copy only newer files, instead of trying to figure out date comparisons in batch, why not use 2000's replace command with the /U (update) switch? This will update only existing files that are older than your source file.
Asfor logging, that should be able to be handled by redirecting output. If you have a predetermined list of computers to run the replace against, those can be read from a file (in batch) and processed accordingly.

To copy only newer versions of files you could use
xcopy /D
with no date after the D.
