prikryl,

Thanks for the script referal. It is kind of doing the opposite of what I am looking for, but the components of the script give enough knowledge to probably allow for adaption.

Thanks again,

There's example script you may start with:

Hi,

Need help with this daily manual code script.

Help in changing script to automate

1. Automatically pull a list of source folder names from \\ipaddress\backups\LatestOfEach\

There are many folders similar to VMNAME-421b33f2-ca0f-1279-633f-fe7f84d3b6a2-20110601_000316
VMNAME-GUID---------------------------------date----_time--

2. To use the put command while ignoring the source folder -date_time.

The source folders cannot be renamed...

3. During the put command rename the files in the source folder to the correct name format.

i.e. Source folders have files names as:
VMNAME-scsi0_0-flat.vmdk
VMNAME-scsi0_0.vmdk
VMNAME-scsi0_1-flat.vmdk
VMNAME-scsi0_1.vmdk
.
.
.
Destination files should be named: (Correspond to source files)
VMNAME-flat.vmdk
VMNAME.vmdk
VMNAME_1-flat.vmdk
VMNAME_1.vmdk
.
.
.
Skilled help is VERY much welcome. :-) - Shocker...

Here is the current code:
