SCOPY Functionality in Windows Server 2003
Where can I find SCOPY in Windows 2003?

by Zubair Alexander

9/26/2007 -- SCOPY used to be available in Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit, but is no longer available in Windows 2000/XP/2003. Among other things, SCOPY allowed you to copy the Access Control List (ACL) and audit settings.

Microsoft has included some of the same functionality that existed in SCOPY in the XCOPY command. Here are some of the switches that you can use with XCOPY in Windows 2000/XP/2003:

  • XCOPY /F -- Displays full source and destination file names while copying.
  • XCOPY /G -- Allows the copying of encrypted files to destination that does not support encryption.
  • XCOPY /H -- Copies hidden and system files also.
  • XCOPY /O -- Copies file ownership and ACL information.
  • XCOPY /X -- Copies the file audit settings (implies /O).

Type XCOPY /? at the command prompt for a complete list of options.
