Hi guys,
Here's my scenario. I have a Server that is connected to a SAN that houses all our department drives and user drives it's a win2003 Server NTFS file system. What I want to do is take that Server offline, attach a new Server to the SAN and then make sure all the NTFS permissions are the same for the Department/User Drives, this would also be great if it kept the Shares. I'm trying to use RoboCopy to get the permissions but I'm having some problems, here are my commands I'm using;
robocopy O:\ C:\temp /sec /create --This creates empty files with the correct file permissions from O Drive into the C:\temp folder
then I copied the files from O:\ into a Temp2 directory and the permissions changed (to match my local machine permissions). So then I tried taking the permissions set on the C:\temp folder into the files in C:\temp2
robocopy C:\Temp C:\temp2 /copy:dats /nocopy --This won't copy any of the files but I thought it would copy the permissions but it's not working. The output I get is the following;
Changed 0 WinsockFix.zip

Am I go about this the wrong way? Are there better tools for this? Thanks for all your help!
