Re: Robocopy Errors

I get the Access Denied error message for each and every folder that robocopy
copies. That's 21,000 folders. 21,000 error messages in the log file for
each run.

On the bright side, it does seem to be copying the files to the destination
now. Earlier today when I was using /copyall (now changed to /copy:dat),
nothing copied. Now it's just filling the log with this chaff, and I don't
know why.

That's fine and dandy. Look at the NTFS permissions on the folder you are
getting access denied on.


by the sub-folders. The audit log on the source server shows
RobocopyService
successfully logging on at the start of each job.


All that is saying is that the account used to run the script was able to
log on and use the script. It does not have anything to do with the script
accessing the files. What are the permissions on the folder giving the
access denied errors?

The domain admin probably does not have access to the folder being
copied.
Look at the NTFS permissions on the folder in question.

I'm trying to use a scheduled task to robocopy files from my (old)
winSrv2003
to my (new) WinSrv2008. It worked between Server2003 and Server2003 in
the
past. I keep getting one of these for each source directory:
"ERROR 5 (0x00000005) Changing File Attributes <source directory
listed
here> Access is denied"
The account used by the task is a member of Domain Admins.
