I am trying to mass copy certain files from the
workstations to a network share. On some instances the
client computer has more than one logical drive (C:). Is
there anyway to run the standard commands (i.e. dir,
xcopy, etc.) for all the local drives automatically? Is
there an environmental variable that list the local (non-
removable) drives? Thanks for your help.

Assuming NT4/2000, give this a whirl:-

@echo off & setlocal ENABLEEXTENSIONS
for %%a in (c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) do (
chkntfs %%a: 2>nul>nul && (echo/%%a: is a fixed drive)
)

If is displays the drive letters you expect, then replace the echo
statement with you copy command (use %%a: to refer to the drive).

For XP/2003 you can do something similar with FSUTIL (IIRC)

Convert them ASAP ;) or change the target statement to something
like:-

chkntfs d:|find "system" >nul && (echo/%%a: is a fixed drive)
