I'm going to write up a tiny wrapper for the entire solution, so it runs without any pop-ups. There are a few apps out there that do, but one is marked as malware (though its not), and the other doesn't support command line arguments. Thanks for the tip =) I’ll look into it.

Thanks for your article. Instead of Robocopy, use RoboCopyPlus (www.robocopyplus.com). It is a wrapper around your instalaltion of Robocopy, that adds email notification depending on the job result (success, warning, error) and optionally attaches logfiles that it can strip down to showing the warnings and errors only. Because it's only a wrapper, it works with all versions of Robocopy and you can use your existing scripts pretty much; just need to add the switches that define the email message to be sent out. We use it for our customers and is hugely enhances the ease of managing all those daily jobs out there.... Cool little tool :)! Hi. Thanks for your article.
