    Synchronize files between folders





    I would like to synchoronize the contents of a folder that is on a branch
    site but connected to the the same domain as the main site. I would like to
    synchronize files between two folders on different servers so that when a
    file is created or modified at one site it is automatically changed at the
    otehr site.

    Any suggestions?

    Look into DFSR, it comes with Win 2k3 R2 and Win 2k8.

    In that case I would suggest a third party app.

    Google Synchronize files

    If you don't need this to be in real time, a simple batch file with robocopy
    would do it - run it as a scheduled task.

    E.g.,

    robocopy <source>\ <destination>\ /e /sec /mir /r:1 /w:1

    There are a lot of other parameters, such as logging, etc.

    I thought robocopy could be told to monitor a directory and take action
    when changes were detected.

    Not that I've ever heard of - it's a simple command line utility, not a
    resident service.
    You can schedule it to do its thing regularly, but you have to execute it
    somehow.
