Re: Security rights of copied files

Thanks. That answers my original question but raises another question.

This is my situation. I have about 200 users on a Windows 2003 server that
at times use Windows Explorer to copy or move files from one network location
to another. Using XCOPY or ROBOCOPY is not something I want to teach to that
may users. I have been finding files in folders that do not have the same
security rights as the folders they are located in. This is a problem because
users with rights to those folders need access to those files. I need to
explain and train the users how to copy and move files so they always inherit
the rights of the destination folder.

Microsoft kb 310316 refers to NTFS Volumes. It says how rights are assigned
depend if the file is copied or moved within the same NTFS Volume or to a
different NTFS Volume. I have a 1 tb drive system that is drive "D" on the
server but is divided up and mapped to the users as drive letters G, H, L, M
and S. Is everything on the server "D" drive considered one "NTFS Volume" or
is each mapped drive letter considered a separate NTFS Volume?

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.
