Where is SCOPY in Windows 2000?

A. Scopy was a useful NT 4.0 resource kit utility that enabled files/folders to be copied with their ACL's and audit settings kept intact. SCOPY is not supplied in the Windows 2000 Resource Kit but its functionality has instead been packaged into the XCOPY utility.

/X copies the audit settings (as /a in SCOPY)
/O copies ACL information (same as SCOPY)
/S copies subdirectories (same as SCOPY)

    Scopy was useful to copy and traverse folders even if the administrators did not have access rights to it. How does xcopy do it. I tested it and it seems to copy everything but this kind of folders. using scopy did work, but xcopy doen't. any idea.
    Note : trying to use scopy directly onto the windows 2003 Server gives no copy at all.
