Create Batch file for laptops to copy templates

Hi Everyone,

I am new to batch file programming and need an expert help to find out
something. I want to create a batch file that runs at login and compares a
local copy of the templates to what we have on the network. We have templates
on a mapped network drive in h:\clients\templates, and on the laptop in
c:\apps\data\clients\templates. When the laptop is offline it substitutes
c:\apps\data to appear as h: drive, that way the files appear to be in
h:\clients\templates. Here’s the basic steps what I need the batch file for:

1. first it checks to see if the computer is on the network
2. if it’s online it copies any newer files from Server onto the local drive
3. if it’s not online it uses the local files and has them show up on the
laptop as
the same location as the network

I really appreciate any help/suggestions..

Thank you in advance,
Hemal

Hello Hemal,

As this doesn't has the need for Active directory better use a scripting
newsgroup like:
microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript
microsoft.public.scripting.jscript

Or the official scripting guy forum:
