Re: Security rights of copied files

Hello bkoopers,

It is the D drive from the server. The other mapping letters are from the clients, not from the server, and belong to a share from your D drive.

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.
