How to copy a folder into multiple folders at once

Just as the title asks. I'm looking to copy a whole folder (not just the contents) into a massive amount of folders and I was under the impression there was some sort of batch command I could run to do this for me. However I was having issues, the only option I saw was to specify a file inside of a folder which wouldn't help me as I need to copy empty folders as well. Is that something that can be done?
Thanks!
Thanks!

On what operating system? And what do you mean by "into a massive amount of folders?"

I am not fully sure to understand everything you are asking. But I would look at robocopy. There is a lot of switches that could allow you to do what you want. Look at /E to copy sub-folder even if empty. /mt to add paralele task. There are also a lot of switche to deal with timestamp, file security and so on. -

Open a Command Prompt window, enter the command XCOPY /? and have a look at the options. I've never found a copy operation that XCOPY could not handle, but it's not terribly fast in some situations.ic3hatt said:I'm on a windows server 2019 OS, and about 400 folders.
