Re: Mirror disk and share permissions...

- To give yourself full access, you can run this command
from a Command Prompt:
cacls d:\Shares /e /t /c /g Tor:F
If you get an "access denied" message then you will have
to seize ownership of the folders. There is no other way.

- To assign bulk permissions. Let's assume that you have
a bunch of folders called User1, User2, User3, and that
the user names are the same, ie. User1, User2, User3.
You can then do this from a Command Prompt:

cd /d d:\Shares (this is the home folder for User1, User2, User3)
for /d %a in (*.*) do cacls %a /e /t /c /g %a:F

This is the simplest case. Depending on your actual setup,
you may have to make some adjustments to the command.

Thanks for the info. I am administrator of this server, I thought that
to avoid access denied errors from profile folders I needed to take
ownership over these folders (which I should not, as it is the users
who should have ownership over their own folders). Which priviledges
should I claim (and how) to avoid Access denied errors when dealing
with user profiles?

Thanks for the confirmation that share permissions won't be transferred
in the xcopy process. However does it exist a tool to bulk assigning
NTFS security permissions to folders? I have 300 users with
corresponding profiles / home folders and I don't want to do this
manually ;-| Which options do I have in this situation?

best regards and thanks again
