You know that, and I know that, but no matter how many times I tell
users, they have a nasty habit of paying attention to their work and
not retaining technical details that you or I might remember as part
of our work.

Let me rephrase the question. Short of training users that they need
to copy and delete, is there any system setting that can force a move
to behave like a copy & delete when it comes to security inheritance?

In the world in which I operate, I cannot think of a situation where I
would want to move a file from one locaiton to another but retain the
original rights, and while I (mostly) remember to do that, I cannot
expect users to remember to copy/delete manually.

Hello Brian,

You gave the explanation yourself, copying inherite the permissions
from the destination and moving keep the permissions if the
destination is on the same disk/volume like the source folder. Also
moving deletes the source content, so moving is copy and delete.

Windows 2003 AD file server

Is there a way to force a file, when moved from one network folder
to another via a client PC, to inherit rights from the new location
rather than retain those from the old location?

From what I can tell, the default behavior is for the file to retain
its original parent & thus security rather than change its parent
from the new location & thus inherit the security from the new
folder. This causes a problem when a user moves a file from a
high/limited security folder to a low-security folder. Other users
having access to the new folder but not to the original folder
cannot open the file in its new location. When the file is copied,
it behaves differently, correctly inheriting rights from the new
folder.
