Re: Security rights of copied files

Hello.

Of course you can get pass all of this by using XCOPY or a third-party tool
like robocopy between NTFS partitions. These will allow you to copy or move
the files while retaining the NTFS permissions. Just remember that if there
is no way for the destination to look up the SID of the security accounts,
you will not be able to resolve the names.

I did google it and I could not find an explanation of how the security
rights are retained or changed when copying or moving files within the same
drive or to a different drive and if (and how) to choose which rights it gets.

I would creatly appreciate a link to a page that describes the above or the
exact wording to enter in Google that will display webpages that describe it.

this has nothing to do with AD. it is simple NTFS permissions.
copied files are different than moved files.

depending on whether you are copying or moving, and whether the copy/move
happens on the same drive or a network location determines whether source
permissions are retained or replaced by destination permissions

google it

When files are copied on network drives of my Windows 2003 server, the
Active
Directory file Security Rights sometimes retain the security rights of the
source location and sometimes adapt the security rights of the target
folder.

Under what conditions should a copied file retain the security rights of
the
source location and under what conditions should a copied file adapt the
security rights of the target folder? Is there a way to control which set
of
those two sets of security rights the copied file will have?

Thanks to anyone who can help me out.
