Q: I have a new server and want to move a ton of files from an old to new. The only problem is, the permissions do not meet. I used a free tool called strarc and pulled the files and permissions but craps about half the files so it does not work. If the business is a win2k box to win2k3
Best Answer: OK, so basically when a file is once in the public folder, it then retains the public rights?
The private folder, once the file is MOVED into the private folder, the user who owns that folder should only have access to view what's in that folder to begin with. The file will most likely retain rights to be read and modified by anyone, but if it's in a folder that is only accessible by a specific user, they should not be able to see it.
Is the server a DC and are the workstations a part of the domain?
You can email me if you need further assistance with this, I work with Server 03 and AD, group policy everyday.

robocopy should preserve permissions.
Beautiful tool to have! I moved about 40GB off one hard drive to another.
Worked like a charm.
