I tried copying data from an external usb drive to my W2008 server, g:\parent_directory d:\server_shared\parent_directory. Unfortunately, I picked the "copyall" paramenter which copies over D=Data, A=Attributes, T=Timestamps, S=Security=NTFS ACLs, O=Owner info, U=aUditing info).
When finished, all folders and subfolders had a lock icon and there were "no security" settings assigned. I tried messing around with changing the ownership, and security settings but it became a mess. Deleted the parent directory from the server to start over.
Can anyone confirm that I should only use the default parameters, DAT in order to have the data copy over to the server without causing security issues when on the new server location? Then I can assign access to appropriate domain security groups and then share the folder? tnx
