Hello
When i copy files to a some network path with xcopy command I get new virtual drives on my pc . The problem is that i do that within a batch script that runs in scheduler so i get there a lot of drives to same location.
How I can copy files to a network with out getting a new drives on the pc or just remove them ?
Thanks.
It sounds like the command you are using to call xcopy. Can we see that ?
the net command is your fiend (as good a fiend you can get on Windows). To remove a network drive you might want to look at:
net use /?
Wait a minute. You're using pushd. pushd, as the documentation states:
If Command Extensions are enabled the PUSHD command accepts network paths in addition to the normal drive letter and path. If a network path is specified, PUSHD will create a temporary drive letter that points to that specified network resource and then change the current drive and directory, using the newly defined drive letter. Temporary drive letters are allocated from Z: on down, using the first unused drive letter found.
While that's perfectly fine to use, you should never call pushd without an appropriate popd afterwards.
So instead of just
pushd \\somepath\etc
xcopy "%mycopyposition%*.exe"
you add another line
popd
which will de-allocate the temporary drive letter again.
