Thread: copy root folder preserving permissions

copy root folder preserving permissions
<param[ at ]community.nospam> 12/17/2008 12:58:48 AM
Hi all,

I have a Windows 2003 server that has a file share that is being used for My
Documents redirection. Due to disk space issues I need to move this file
share to another newly installed disk. How can I easily copy all the folder
contents including all the child folders and its contents to this new disk
and preserve all the ntfs & share permissions of all the child folders and
its contents?

TIA!

Is this tool available for Windows 2003 x64?

Yes, of course. Windows Server 2008 already has it included as integrated
tool.

Also there's the robocopy GUI if you dont enjoy that much the command line:

When I go to download the resource kit tools, it states it is not supported
on 2003 x64. See below

Please advise?
