Hey there,
Our accounting department has one hell of a mess of a folder. Its called ACTNGDATA and is full of chain directory with different or alternate user access and permissions inherited to the subfolder and files.
I tried copying it under the highest account available that has access and includes all accountants as grouped, but it would encounter errors "Cannot Copy File - Permission Denied".
We are moving to a new server, the old being Server 2000 and the new being Server 2008. I have set up the users and accounts on the new server identically to the old one.
I was able to copy the folder and all contents using our backup software without errors but it removed all the permissions and I don't want to spend all day changing each folder 1 at a time.
Is there a utility out there I can use to carry over the assigned permissions as it was?
Thank you
