We have a large directory structure on a Windows 2000 Server shared area that has overgrown with data. We are creating a new directory structure and want users to move data that is needed to the new structure, and data that is not moved will be archived to tape.
We would like to prevent files in the current area from being created and modified, but allow the users to move files/directories to the new area and delete them from the current area.
After setting up the permissions if a user cuts/pastes or drags and drops the directories to the new area the rights of the directory follow it to the new area and the directories cannot be modified.
If it were just a few people moving data I could educate them to copy and delete (that would not move the rights), but we have several hundred users moving data.
Anyone have any ideas to allow the users to move over the directories without moving the rights.
