That’s it in this video.

Let’s have a look on step by step process using Xcopy.

Using Xcopy:

Step 1: Open Command Prompt

Step 2: Use Xcopy to Copy Files

To copy a file or folder to multiple destinations, use the following syntax:

xcopy "C:\SourceFolder" "C:\DestinationFolder1" /E /I /Y
xcopy "C:\SourceFolder" "C:\DestinationFolder2" /E /I /Y

This will copy all files and subfolders from C:\SourceFolder to both C:\DestinationFolder1 and C:\DestinationFolder2.

Step 3: Copy Files to Multiple Network Computers

If you need to copy files to network locations, use this command:

xcopy "C:\SourceFolder" "\\PC1\SharedFolder" /E /I /Y
xcopy "C:\SourceFolder" "\\PC2\SharedFolder" /E /I /Y

This sends the files to the shared folder on PC1 and PC2.

Step 4: Automate the Process (Optional)

You can create a batch file to automate the task:

1. Open Notepad and paste the Xcopy commands.
2. Save the file as copy_files.bat.
3. Double-click the batch file to execute the copy process automatically.

Step-by-Step Guide: Using PowerShell

PowerShell provides a scripting interface for advanced file operations, including copying and replacing locked files. Here’s how to do it:

1. Copy Locked Files Using PowerShell

Locked files can’t be copied directly while they’re in use. However, you can:

• Use Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to create a snapshot of the disk and access locked files from the snapshot.

Steps:

1. Open PowerShell as Administrator.
2. Use the DiskShadow command to create a shadow copy: diskshadow create expose shadow=<shadow_id> <drive_letter>
3. Navigate to the exposed drive and copy the locked file using Copy-Item: Copy-Item "<source_path>" -Destination "<destination_path>"

2. Replace Files on Reboot

To replace a file that is in use, the system must be instructed to perform the replacement during the next reboot.

Steps:

1. Use the MoveFileEx API via PowerShell to schedule the replacement: [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError=true)] static extern bool MoveFileEx(string lpExistingFileName, string lpNewFileName, int dwFlags); $existingFile = "C:\\path\\to\\lockedfile.txt" $newFile = "C:\\path\\to\\replacementfile.txt" MoveFileEx($existingFile, $newFile, 0x4) # 0x4 indicates the MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT flag
2. Restart the system to apply the change.

4. How This Script Works:
   • It retrieves all files in the specified folder.
   • It checks if a file name already exists.
   • If a duplicate is found, it appends a number ((1), (2), etc.) to the filename.
   • The Rename-Item command renames the duplicate files.
5. Verify the Results: After running the script, open the folder to check that duplicate files have been renamed automatically.
