ROBOCOPY fails copying files from source root

When copying files from source root, it seems that ROBOCOPY see the file(s) as directories and the resoult is, that the filename become a directoiry name on target

Logfile says:

2023/03/08 11:16:09 ERROR 267 (0x0000010B) Accessing Source Directory \\XXXXXXXXXX\mdt$\Placer IKKE l›se filer i hovedshare - Vedr_backup_VIGTIGT.txt\

The directory name is invalid.

How can I prevent that

My code:

$FileName = (Get-Date).tostring("MM-dd-yyyy---HH-mm-ss")

$oldpaths = Get-ChildItem "\\XXXXXXXXXX\mdt$\*"

$newpath = 'Q:\CTXMDT\'

Set-Location $newpath

foreach($oldpath in $oldpaths)

{



$newpath1 = $newpath + $oldpath.Name

mkdir $newpath1 -ErrorAction Ignore > $null



robocopy $oldpath $newpath1 /Z /MT:16 /MIR /W:0 /R:0 /V /TS /FP /PF /E /FFT /XO /SEC /XD ".snapshots" /XD "$RECYCLE.BIN" | Out-File D:\Logfiler\XXXXXXXXXX_MDT\"$FileName MDT.log" -Append



Write-Host "$oldpath has been copiet to $newpath1"

}

Best regards

ROBOCOPY fails copying files from source root

Hi Elise

Thanks for replying om my problem.....

Well same resoulth with robocopy "$oldpath"

I just tested my robocopy command in a commandline, and that works fine

( robocopy \\XXXXXXXX\mdt$\ Q:\CTXMDT\ /Z /MT:16 /MIR /W:0 /R:0 /V /TS /FP /PF /E /FFT /XO /SEC /XD ".snapshots" /XD "$RECYCLE.BIN" )

So for some reason, - Powershell is the challange and not Robocopy as I expected...

The funny thing is, - that if the file allready excist on target, - my powershell script does not create a folder as I would expect....

Best regards...
