File permissions question - Need expert Advice
I have had trouble importing over SIDs from my NT machine to my 2003. So instead of migration, I am starting from scratch.
I've recreated all users and groups - Now I just need to setup a file structure with correct permissions.
I would like to re-structure our folders like so:
//<servername>/Users/HR
//<servername>/Users/IT
//<servername>/Users/Accou
//<servername>/Users/Buyin
Now at present those files are on a NT server. I will move them to my XP machine and then move them to my 2003 machine. I want to at this point erase all permissions on the files so that just the administrator has acess. I want want to enable parent permissions on every single file so I can then go ahead and change the propertys of the IT folder to allow the "IT group" access. Like so
//<servername>/Users/IT/di
change permissions so everything is inherited from Users - Admin access on all files.
So the above file will only be accessable by the IT group.
Is this clear? How can it be done on a mass scale? 15gigs of data here. With a very deep file struture. Not all files have parent paths enabled.

ok, I finally did my migration successfully.
Now I need to move my folders from. Does the robocopy /COPYALL delete any data? I need to transfer all relevant file info permissions, timestamps etc, the lot.
Hopefully I can just use /COPYALL and /ETA ?? Correct?

ok, heres my problem.
I can move the files fine from my NT machine to my XP Pro machine.
Now I get accessed denied errors when I try and move them to my 2003 machine from my XP machine? Both times I am logged in as administrator but it doesn't seem to like it on the 2003 machine. Any ideas?
Also I tryed using the /ZB (backup mode tag) and it stopped all the folders being shared.

ok, I tryed again with a user who ahd domain admin permissions and all data was copyied accross fine.
I think I have everything sorted now. I will ROBOCOPY the entire network drive over to my machine later tonite and then move it in the morning to my Windows 2003 machine.
I'll leave this question open incase I have any more problems.
