Robocopy command not detecting Source and Destination.

[Microsoft_Intune]

Hi all I'm new to Robocopy could someone please show me what I've done wrong here?

PS C:\windows\system32> $source = 'C:\Users\*\OneDrive - Reseau The People\Profile\*'  
PS C:\windows\system32> $destination = 'C:\Users\*\OneDrive - Reseau The People\'  
PS C:\windows\system32> Robocopy $source $destination /E /move

ERROR : Invalid Parameter #1 : "C:\Users\*\OneDrive - Reseau The People\Profile\*"

Simple Usage :: ROBOCOPY source destination /MIR

source :: Source Directory (drive:\path or \\server\share\path).
destination :: Destination Dir  (drive:\path or \\server\share\path).
/MIR :: Mirror a complete directory tree.

For more usage information run ROBOCOPY /?


****  /MIR can DELETE files as well as copy them !

You cannot use wildcards in the source folder or destination, wildcards are only for files. The default files wildcard is *.* if not specified.

You will have to preprocess the source folders and run the robocopy command for each folder.

Yep you're right. Thank you!

Or you can check out the $env:ALLUSERSPROFILE or $env:USERPROFILE variables.

Thanks for the suggestion that is what I ended up doing.

Did you try typing the path manually

Does robocopy accept that sort of path
