Windows – Robocopy syntax to copy single file in the same directory with new name

Option 4 - but do it via a GPO at the Domain level.

Create a new group policy object (or edit an existing one if you prefer), and add the user to those two privileges under Computer Configuration --> Windows Settings --> Security Settings --> Local Policies --> User Rights Assignment. Apply the GPO to an appropriate OU and reboot the affected machines to allow the changes to take effect.

I am not quite sure if I understand every aspect of your question, but here we go.

Save this code to a CMD file and customize the source, destination and robocopy.exe path where destination means the root folder which contains your 488 subfolders.

@echo off
SET "source=C:\Users\zsmall\Desktop\Attachment Structure"
SET "dest=C:\Users\zsmall\Desktop\CustomTest"    
DIR /A:D /B %dest% > folders.txt    
for /f "delims=" %%G in (folders.txt) do (
C:\Windows\System32\robocopy.exe "%source%" "%dest%\%%G" /copy:DAT /E /W:2 /R:2 /MT:8
)
pause

What it does

• lists all folders (no subfolders) from your destination folder and writes the names to a text file
• loops through every folder in that list file
• executes a robocopy command with the current folder as destination
  (source is always the same folder)
• robocopy copies all folders, subfolders and files including data, attributes and timestamps

For information about the used parameters, look here:

• DIR: http://ss64.com/nt/dir.html
• FOR /D loop http://ss64.com/nt/for_d.html
• robocopy switches http://ss64.com/nt/robocopy.html

_{Don't try to do it without saving the list first in a textfile. Or you may end up like me, who was creating thousands of subfolders with the same name.}
