Re: XCOPY deployment -- security failure: "File creation error..."


Here's some things to try:

- Try adding quotes around the paths in case any contain spaces and cmd.exe
is parsing the parameters differently than what you would expect:
xcopy "D:\projects\myProject" "%SERVERPATH%\_code"

- Try removing parameters from xcopy, make it simpler to troubleshoot. For
example, these are different than what you get with explorer.exe: "/o" and
"/exclude:deploy_excludes.txt"

- Try looking at the Security event log on the server, you may need to
enable auditing on both the share and the parent folder.

hello,

i am attempting to deploy my local machine's files to a shared
folder on the production machine, elsewhere on the network. here is my
xcopy .bat:

SET SERVERPATH=\\SomeMachine\SomeShare\myProject

ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO double-check path:
ECHO.
ECHO %SERVERPATH%\
ECHO.
PAUSE

xcopy D:\projects\myProject %SERVERPATH%\_code /e /k /r /o /h /i /d
/y /exclude:deploy_excludes.txt

...this works when testing w/ a local path, but fails on the production
machine w/ the following:

File creation error - This security ID may not be assigned as the
owner of this object.

Unable to create directory - \\SomeMachine\SomeShare\myProject

can anyone help me figure out what this means, and how to fix it?

for debugging i set the network share's permissions to allow "Everyone"
full control. i have no trouble copying the same files over via Windows
Explorer (my local workstation, to the network share's folder).

why would the xcopy fail? does it run under a different process than me
using Windows Explorer? is some sort of impersonation needed?


thanks!
matt
