Moving Home Areas

[dazzabroughton]

We have an NT4 SP6 PDC server that contains all our users home areas on one partition. This partition is getting full (with other data as well) and we need to move the home areas, with all the data intact, to another huge partition on the same server. Sounds simple enough.

But does anyone know of a way or a utility that can do this. If we copy the home areas we lose all the permissions, where the user doesn't have full control (or even access to their own home area).

I know we could do this one by one and reset the permissions each time, but there's got to be an easier way.

Hi,
If you have the NT Resource Kit there is a utility called robocopy.exe that will copy files and permissions using the /SEC switch. be sure to read the robocopy.doc also in the resource kit for full information.
