This will not include sub-directories.
robocopy D:\Inetpub \\Server1\d$\InetPub /create /e
Click to expand...

This works here.

As documented, ROBOCOPY /CREATE will create the directory structure and
zero-length files as place holders. The log output doesn't reflect that
properly, showing each file as if it were actually copied. Check your
destination directory and you should find zero-length palce holder files
there.

retested and reviewed... ok. it creates the complete files with 0 bytes...
this take a long time :-(

45GB and 900.000 files...
