Re: moving folder redirection share

Hello,

XCACLS fails because I dont have appropriate permissions on any of
the child folders or files. There exists thousands of files under
each user's folder and each one of those has propogation disabled and
ACL's uniquely set on them.

XCACLS should definitely work for this. That's what it's for. Get the vbs
version.

Hi all,

I currently have all my user's my documents folder re-directed to a
dfs network share on 2 Server 2003 boxes. It now appears that the
disk the share is on one of the servers is running out of disk space
fast. So I purchased a new external hard drive and hooked it up to
the server and have formatted it as E:\

I don't think I'd want to use an external hard drive for this
purpose.....

I now need to move everyone's documents seamlessly keeping ntfs
permissions intact. My plan was to temporarily turn off the share
name, use robocopy to copy all the folders over to the new disk

..using the /SEC switch will preseve permissions

and
then share the folder on the new disk with the same share name.

I'm not a DFS expert but I suspect you'll have problems with DFS if
you do it this way.

The
issue I ran into was robocopy was unable to access anyone's My
Documents folder as my domain admin account does not have
permissions to each user's folder. Is there anyway around this?
I have a 100+ users and if I had to manually go into everyone's
folder and manually give my account permissions it would be a very
time consuming affair.

Any help would be much appreciated!

TIA!

You can use XCACLS to add the Administrators group to everyone's
folder under the parent folder...
