  Hi there, I want to use a script to move and save some logs of the system. I had one which worked well on 2000 servers. then I wrote a similar one try to use on a NT 4 server, however, it doesn't work.

  It failed on a very simple part as the following:

  G:cd "historical logs"

  mkdir "%DATE%"

  which tries to create a new folder with the name of the date, this works well on 2000 servers, however, it failed to do anything on NT4.

  Anyone have some ideas on this?

  Thanks a lot!

  Are we talking a batch file here or something else?

  Yes, it's a batch file. or you can call it command file. simply a text file, but you can name it as test.bat or test.cmd, and run it. the content is as the follows:

  G:

  cd "historical logs"

  mkdir "%DATE%"

  cd "%DATE%"

  move c:\logs\1.log 1.log

  .........

  it executed fine on 2000 server, but it wouldn't interpret the %DATE% variables on NT4, please advise.
