Just use robocopy with the /sec, and preferrably with the /MIR too, switch.
This will copy the files and folders with the original (old fileserver
sec-groups) settings.

      /SEC
     Copies NTFS security information. (Source and destination volumes must
both be NTFS). Equivalent to /COPY:DATS.



      /MIR
     Mirrors a directory tree (equivalent to running both /E and /PURGE).



If you have many files and folders, you may want to use /MIR and /CREATE
first, then defrag and then do the /SEC and /MIR. It'll pay off later with
lesser fragmentationen.

      /CREATE
     Creates a directory tree structure containing zero-length files only
(that is, no file data is copied).




HTH.

Subject: [windows2000] migrating a file server and tracking down permissions


We are in the process of migrating to a new file server and we have a lot of
directories that have specific permissions on it.  For example the
accounting group can access certain ffolders that other groups can't, etc.

Is there a way to track down and display all of these permissions?  Easiest
way, free if possible, of migrating these permission over to the new file
server?
