File Copy - Permissions?

    Hi Guys,

    I want to Copy file shares (6GB approx) from a Win NT server to Win2k or Win2003 server.
    Is there any way to do this and keep Permissions intact?
    AFAIK if you copy from one Windows OS to another and they differ the permissions are lost.

    Any suggestions?
    Cheers.

    If both servers are not on the same domain it would be tricky since SID's will be different even if users are the same.

    from the XP/2K command promt you can use Xcopy with /o to copy permissions and ACL's

    Xcopy \\NT\d$\folders data\folders\*.* /s /r /h /c /o /x

    etc.

    see also calcs.exe and you can download xcalcs


    If the user names are the same but on different domains it's a real mess - try using calcs to export permissions to a text file and then use a batch file on the other end to parse it back inagain on copied files - like I said a mess..

    If this job is for a company then Quest migrator my be of use...

    http://wm.quest.com/products/migrator/

    Even if the two systems are in different domains, this product will create the users/groups on the target system. and copy the data..

    Can be scheduled, etc etc..

    Overkill for small one off job, But ive used in the past for customers.

    The Extended Change Access Control List tool (Xcacls.vbs) has been enhanced and replaces Xcacls.exe.
