The one in the W2k resource kit does :- Use the /SEC switch to copy NTFS file permissions when you copy files to a destination for the first time. For performance reasons, /SEC does not copy security information for existing destination directories and files. To refresh security information for existing destination files and directories without copying file data, use the /SECFIX switch. /SECFIX is a superset of /SEC. /SECFIX copies permissions for newly copied files and refreshes security information for existing destination files and directories, even those skipped because they are tagged as Same, Older, Newer, or Changed. Files excluded for other reasons (for example, those tagged as named) are excluded from all processing, and their security information is not updated. xcopy on w2k also allows you to copy permissions. -----Original Message----- From: Frank Monroe [mailto:Frank.Monroe@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 04 November 2002 18:10 To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: OT:Best Utility Doesn't robocopy unfortunately lose the file ownership info though? -----Original Message----- From: Braebaum, Neil [mailto:neil.braebaum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 10:25 AM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: OT:Best Utility I don't know of any utility that does both - that's not to say there isn't one, merely that I don't know of one. Robocopy would certainly handle the data, and ntfs permissions There may be stuff to copy shares and share permissions, but I'm not aware of them. It would be possible to (probably) script this, using WSH.
