Microsoft DOS xcopy command
About xcopy
Xcopy is a powerful version of the copy command with additional features; has the capability of moving files, directories, and even whole drives from one location to another.
Syntax
XCOPY "source" "destination" [/D[:date]] [/P] [/S [/E]] [/V] [/W] [/C] [/I] [/Q] [/F] [/L] [/H] [/R] [/T] [/U]
[/K] [/N] [/O] [/X] [/Y] [/-Y] [/Z] [/EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]...]
Eg; xcopy "\\127.0.0.1\temp\saplogon.ini" "%windir%\" /S /E /H /Y
source Specifies the file(s) to copy.
destination Specifies the location and/or name of new files.
/D:m-d-y Copies files changed on or after the specified date. If no date is given, copies only those files whose source time is newer than the destination time.
/EXCLUDE:file1 [+file2][+file3]... Specifies a list of files containing strings. When any of the strings match any part of the absolute path of the file to be copied, that file will be excluded from being copied. For example, specifying a string like \obj\ or .obj will exclude all files underneath the directory obj or all files with the .obj extension respectively.
/P-Prompts you before creating each destination file.
/S-Copies directories and subdirectories except empty ones.
/E-Copies directories and subdirectories, including empty ones. Same as /S /E. May be used to modify /T.
/V-Verifies each new file.
/W-Prompts you to press a key before copying.
/C-Continues copying even if errors occur.
/I-If destination does not exist and copying more than one file, assumes that destination must be a directory.
/Q-Does not display file names while copying.
/F-Displays full source and destination file names while copying.
/L-Displays files that would be copied.
/H-Copies hidden and system files also.
/R-Overwrites read-only files.
/T-Creates directory structure, but does not copy files. Does not include empty directories or subdirectories. /T /E includes empty directories and subdirectories.
/U-Copies only files that already exist in destination.
/K-Copies attributes. Normal Xcopy will reset read-only attributes.
/N-Copies using the generated short names.
/O-Copies file ownership and ACL information.
/X-Copies file audit settings (implies /O).
/Y-Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file.
/-Y-Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file.
/Z-Copies networked files in restartable mode.

How to Install WSUS 3.0 SP2 on RoDC
What you need to do to install WSUS on an RODC , is first create the
"WSUS Administrators" and "WSUS Reporters" group on a ReadWrite DC, and force a replication to the RODC. Then install WSUS. Now the WSUS installer will see that the groups already exist, and not try to create them.
Becouse on an RODC, there is no local SAM, and the WSUS installer cannot write to the directory store to create the groups.

On client, open a command prompt and run following command to start Network Monitor:
"%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Network Monitor 3\nmcap" /network * /capture /file %ComputerName%_test.cap:50M /DisableConversations /DisableLocalOnly
On client, open another command prompt, navigate the path in which nltest.ext resides, run following command:
ipconfig /flushdns
nltest /dsgetdc:domainname /force > dsgetdc.txt
nltest /dsgetsite > dsgetsite.txt
set l > setl.txt
NOTE:please place the “domainname” with your real domain name

Removing the RODC computer account using the graphical interface
If AD DS is already removed from the RODC computer, you can easily remove the computer account by using the Active Directory Users and Computers or Active Directory Sites and Services snap-ins.
To remove an RODC computer account with Active Directory Users and Computers
1. Open Active Directory Users and Computers. To open Active Directory Users and Computers, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Active Directory Users and Computers.
2. Ensure that you are connected to a writeable domain controller running Windows Server 2008 in the correct domain. To connect to the appropriate domain or domain controller, in the details pane, right-click the Active Directory Users and Computers object, and then click Change Domain or Change Domain Controller, respectively.
3. In the console tree, expand the domain object, and then select the Domain Controllers organizational unit (OU).
4. In the details pane, right-click the RODC computer account, and then click Delete.
5. When you are prompted, click Yes to continue with the removal of the RODC account. At this point, the Deleting Domain Controller dialog box appears. If the RODC was not compromised or stolen, you can clear all the check boxes in this dialog box and then click Delete. If the RODC was compromised or stolen,
6. Next, another Delete Domain Controller dialog box appears, asking you to confirm metadata deletion. Click OK to continue with the RODC computer account removal.
7. If the domain controller was also a global catalog server, you are asked again to confirm that you want to continue the deletion. Click Yes to continue.

How to Nokia E63 integrate with Lotus Notes calendar entries and meetings
The best way to achieve this is to use Lotus Traveler. Your company will need one server running Domino 8.5 or higher whether that's your mail server or not. The Traveler server needs to have Manager access to your mail file, and you mail file needs to be set to replicate unread marks to all replicas.
Data transfer is via http, either using SSL or not, with syncing on port 8642. Calendar entries, contacts and tasks can be synced.No sync manager is needed, as it's all done between the Traveler task running on the Domino server and the Traveler client software running on your E63, provided you have a working TCP/IP connection, whether wifi or 3G.
