Hello,
We have a Windows 2003 server and have many network shares setup with
permissions set on each. If I copy the folders to a new server or even
another drive on my current server all folder permissions and securtiy
settings reset. Is there a way to copy these folders and keep the
permissions in tact?
Thanks,
Tom

Both xcopy.exe and robocopy.exe have switches that will
copy the security information.
