My complex Windows Copy command stopped working.....

JasGot

Windows Server 2012 installed these updates on Thursday:
KB5007300
KB890830
KB5007260

My copy command ran fine on Friday.
The server rebooted on Saturday and my copy command started failing with Syntax error.

Here is my copy command:

copy \\bsastore\BSA\WSReaderData\METEREXPORT.TXT \\bsastore\BSA\WSReaderData\ExportHistory\METEREXPORT_%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%%time:~6,2%_%date:~-10,2%%date:~-7,2%%date:~-4,4%.txt

The results of the copy should be METEREXPORT_HHMMSS_MMDDYYYY.txt
Actual successful result from before:

METEREXPORT_173001_11122021.txt

Any thoughts? I don't see anything in those three updates that would affect this.

Well, maybe a reboot happened or it couldn't read the data and then now it can.

Possibly. I'm glad is doesn't need any more head-scratching!
