MICROSOFT SYNCTOY AUTO HOW TO

If you are not logged in as Administrator and you are syncing files across domains, I would recommend that you change the User to admin.Īs you can see it is easy enough to set up a scheduled syncing of files.

Description: please add a description, there is nothing more annoying than adopting a system and trying to figure out why a specific task is running, does it need to be still running etc….

To finish the configuration, select the ‘General’ tab on the Create Task window. The sync should only take about a minute but definitely should not take longer than an hour. Stop task if it runs longer than: 1 hour.Start: set the date that it will start and then set to time to 6:00:00 AM.I want to run this daily at 6am, starting today. Select the ‘Triggers’ tab on the Create Task window. This determines how often and when the Sync will get run. Let’s set up the task scheduler trigger now. The argument will always be “-R”, the Start In will be the name of the sync, see image 1 above. Choose the dates and times youd like to set your automatic reply for.

You should find this by going to the Start button > Accessories > system Tools > Task Scheduler OR type in “task scheduler” in the search box after clicking the Start Button.Ĭreate a new task by clicking “Create task…” on the right side. If I wanted to run this manually, I could just select ‘Run All’ but I want to run this on a daily basis. This means that any deletes or renames on the left will be synced on the right.
