I would create a batch file with two richcopy calls and use it instead. Hi Giri,

As you don't use spaces in folder names they are not needed: /FED Downloads;FreePop;Outlook Make sure that the account you are using to run the scheduled task has appropriate permissions on all folders. Make sure it has write permissions on file C:\Users\adminbu\Desktop\TaskSched\adminbu.log BR Hi Rick,

Make sure that the account you are using to run the scheduled task has appropriate permissions on all folders. Make sure it has write permissions on file C:\Users\adminbu\Desktop\TaskSched\adminbu.log

I wanna add task to Tsk Schedule of Windows 7 and don't works... If you sets on Task Schedule GUI text box Settings-->Programs/script: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Rich Tools\RichCopy 4.0\RichCopy.exe" and in text box Add arguments: "\\stores\backs" "F:\BackRick\stores" /FED "Downloads";"FreePop";"Outlook" /TS 10 /TD 20 /TP 40 /FC 505 /QA /QP "C:\Users\adminbu\Desktop\TaskSched\adminbu.log" /UE /US /UD /UC /UFC /UCS /USC /USS /USD /UPR /UET then Richcopy runs but ignores the arguments for exclude the second and thrid directories (FReePop and Outlook) and yes it do excludes directory "Downloads". I mean: only reads the first argument... Also, if I sets only that runs the profile file .rcx in text box Settings-->Programs/script, Richcopy don't starts and stays hanged... If I adds to that setting the arguments: "\\stores\backs" "F:\BackRick\stores" /FED "Downloads";"FreePop";"Outlook" /TS 10 /TD 20 /TP 40 /FC 505 /QA /QP "C:\Users\adminbu\Desktop\TaskSched\adminbu.log" /UE /US /UD /UC /UFC /UCS /USC /USS /USD /UPR /UET makes the same that I told you before... But if you don't executes Richcopy from Task Schedule and runs from it self, then work fine the same arguments tells above, altough in aleatory mode, some times works fine and others not... Some times excludes three directories, and others only excludes the first one.... Any idea??? Thanks!!! Hi Branko,

When you use configuration profiles make sure that the file is not stored on a temporary folder, that might not exist anymore when the task is scheduled. Check also that the account you are using to run the task has access to the configuration file. Hello Matt,

It could be that you are missing an argument or two. Most often the source and destination locations are not passed as command line parameters. You can also send it to my e-mail address (branko@servermigrator.com). BR Hi Michael,

The task runs successfully but alas, no bueno; nothing happens. I've copied the command line switches from the advanced GUI, as detailed above, still nothing. Anyone run into this problem?

Hi Paolo

The run box should look something like this (replace /PARAMETERS with your actual parameters)
“C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Rich Tools\RichCopy 4.0\RichCopy 4.0.lnk” /PARAMETERS

The user name should be in the edit box “Run as:”
