Re: File Migration - Inheritance

Thanks Vincent. Subinacl would be fine but not sure how I would automate it
to set the perms on the files to the perms of the parent directory. Sounds
risky on over 2.5TB of data and approx 7million files to repermission. I had
a call open with Microsoft who were looking at a modified XCACLS script to
reset the inheritance flag to fix this problem. I still have not heard back
from them. Instead I used Robocopy to re-copy the data but with permissions
only using the /copy:s switch. This just copied permissions (no data) so was
quick, and this seemed to work well.

Thanks for replying.

Hi, I have just migrated a lot of data using FSMT. However, due to
problems
we were having with FSMT we switched to Robocopy to run the final data
transfers and to apply the security on the copied folders.

As we copied the security for these folders after much of the data had
already been copied, the files and folders do not seem to have inherited
the
permissions of these folders. Does anybody know of a tool that can
traverse
the directory tree and enure that files inherit from their parent folder,
effectively turning inheritance back on for these files?

Thanks.
