I have been tasked with automating SyncToy for users throughout my orgainization. I have created a script using AutoIT that will silently install SyncToy v2.1 and then create the two folders, locally and on their network drive, by using the command
line:
SyncToy.exe -d(left="c:\BACKUP_TO_NETWORK",right="\\server\%username%\BACKUP",name=NAME,operation=contribute,excluded=*.avi;*.mp3;*.mp4;*.mkv).
When I open up SyncToy GUI, the folder pair displays correctly, the problem I am having is actually syncing the files via command line. I wrote up a second script that will only sync the files if they are phsically connected to the corporate
LAN. The problem I am having is with SyncToyCMD.exe. If I run the following cmd(s):
c:\program files\synctoy 2.1\SyncToyCmd.exe -rNAME or c:\program files\synctoy 2.1\SyncToyCmd.exe -r "NAME" or c:\program files\synctoy 2.1\SyncToyCmd.exe -R "NAME" from the command line I get an error saying "SyncToyCmd has detected that
the folder pair NAME has not been synchronized yet. Please run SyncToy.exe to complete the initial sync"
If I sync using the GUI, it works no problem, however, I cannot sync via the command line.
Hopefully, I've provided enough info and I apologize for the extremely long post.
Any help would be much appreciated.
