I've created a script that utilizes Robocopy, and I'm encountering an issue with its behavior on different systems. Here's the command I'm using: `robocopy E: F: /E /FP /NS /NP /NJH /NJS /MT:16`. When I run this command on my Windows 10 machine, the `/NP` (No Progress) switch works as expected, and I only see the file paths and statuses like 'New File' or '*EXTRA file.' However, when I run the same command on my Windows Server 2012, it shows the progress as a percentage for each file. This is really confusing since it's messing up my log file, which I need to parse accurately. Is this a known issue?

Have you checked if both versions of Robocopy are the same? Sometimes, different versions can behave differently, especially if the server has a newer calculation method for progress reporting.
Haha, Windows 10 to Server 2012 and Robocopy issues? That's a fun topic! If only the issues were as entertaining as the debates about Broadcom pricing and its 'never-ending saga.'
Right?! Broadcom always seems to be the punchline. But hey, at least we can bond over these quirky tech struggles!
No, they're not the same version. I'm curious about how compatible the newer Robocopy is with older systems. I'm hesitant to try it since I don't want to run into silent issues later. I wonder if Robocopy 10.0 is fully supported on Windows Server 2012.
