Guest Tom Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 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
