Hello,

I would like to schedule a copy file operation in .cmd to copy files from
one server to another one on daily basis. On the target server, I want to
create folder as YYYYMMDD format by the script to store the files so that it
can be easily distingushed. I know there is %date% but it returns MM/DD/YYYY,
not the format I want.

Please help!This will work on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista.

Here's a one liner:
for /f "Tokens=2-4 Delims=/ " %%i in ('date /T') do set
FileDate=%%k%%i%%j

Your script DOES NOT work on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista.
All version of Windows NT greater than Windows NT 5.00 do not include the Day when running the Date /T command.
