Windows Permissions to Synology box

$ausage$

HI,

So I need to offload my NAS to a new location (Synology DS1819+)
I have never had this issue before with robocopy or even drop and drag but the windows permissions are not copying. I have the correct switches as I have done this before to different NAS and it worked.

I have found two docs from Synology and followed both with no joy.

Have anyone come across this?

My switches
Robocopy "D:" "W:" /COPYALL /S /M /R:1 /W:1 /XO /FFT

Synology Doc https://www.synology.com/en-global/knowledgebase/DSM/tutorial/File_Sharing/How_to_migrate_ACL_permissions_to_Synology_NAS

So is the folders/files copying at all with that command or you get error?

$ausage$

All copies fine just permissions are wrong they are the permissions set on the shared folder in synology.

Since found another post saying to add domain users in. I have done this still no joy

Strange, command seems OK and it works fine (copying within same disk on PC)
Are permissions wrong/missing on all files? Are there same name folders already on destination - you using /XO - if the folder exists in both locations it compare and keep newer, thus permissions remain.

Edit: permission remain on folder

No it its a fresh drive every time I copy test.
I have also used Fast Copy as synoligy said in their doc but not joy....

Its so frustrating

Check this out it might be culprit:

ACL permissions inherited from PC server's root folder will not be migrated.

Thats ok but even sub folders are not working.

Their support finally got back to me after 2 days.

...you will need to contact Robocopy...

!?!:D Ryan is gas


Dont have hardware to try recreate your situation and don't know folder structure you have, the way permissions set.

Have you tried to copy folder/file to a PC or other external drive?


Or might try create folder on destination instead copying directly to root("W:\Destination" vs "W:"), or even move source out of root (like \Source), convert permissions and then copy.

Yeh copied to sub folders and to different devices 2 in fact all ok.

Its a real pain in my *****

So you in AD environment, have you joined NAS to domain? You should not need to create users, users should be read from AD and cashed.
