Moving Folder Permissions Question

[Guest Tom]

Hello,

We have a Windows 2003 server and have many network shares setup with

permissions set on each. If I copy the folders to a new server or even

another drive on my current server all folder permissions and securtiy

settings reset. Is there a way to copy these folders and keep the

permissions in tact?

Thanks,

Tom

You can use robocopy or FSMT to transfer data without losing the security settings. This post may help,

Both xcopy.exe and robocopy.exe have switches that will

copy the security information.
