Didn't take me long to figure it out. I just modified the batch file to provide an empty file as the standard input for the xcopy command. The xcopy command in my batch file now looks like: xcopy.exe /i /s /e /d /y E:\DATA\Mirror\Documents c:\Software\Mirror\Documents\ < e:\DATA\Scripts\empty.txt Maybe there is some other better/simpler way to create a valid STDIN but this seems to work for now. Now I just have to get the network permissions thing worked out, I think I'm gonna have to talk to my IT guy about that one.
