i'm administering a network with least 10 computers (all with xp os) and they are connected in a network with a win2k3 server. I need to gather files once in a while from those computers so that the users will not bother to transfer files from their pc to the server. how can I do this. do i need an additional software for this or does the win2k3 server has a function to gather files from remote computers?
thanx.

might want to create a network share to store user files [DFS in Active Directory] or use the home folder redirect to a network share for all users.

Hi there,

you could also just create a batch file set to run overnight to copy files from the PC's back to the server.

cheers
