SyncToy at present makes a lot of assumptions about being installed and having been run in GUI mode at some point in time. This severely limits the cmd line options.
What would really make SyncToy useful for us would be a version that can simply sit on the server and take commands. We want to be able to run an arbitrary sync on any windows machine with nothing more than a scheduled command to a network exe or
else a bat file in the domain startup config.
We have a number of folders that need to be synchronized on startup and SyncToy seems like the ideal tool. And it works great if you install it and setup a sync locally but we would like to just have it happen as part of login, even if the computer has never
had SyncToy installed before.
Similarly we want to be able to execute these commands through something like a python script again without having to assume that SyncToy is installed locally and configured.
