Duplicating Permissions

I know the saying of permisions cannot be transferred.  Here is teh situation...

I have two servers with the identical directory structure on each and need to have the exact permissions on both.  How do I copy teh directory structure from one to the other AND the permissions?  Can it be done easily??  FRS possibly?   Thank you all for any help?

Robocopy can handle that, it's part of the Server Resource Kit.

You can get the Resource Kit for 2003 here:

There's a command reference for it here:

I think you'll need something like:

robocopy <source> <destination> * /E /COPY:DATSOU

Which basically copies everything.

xcopy source destination /T /O
will copy all the directory structure and their permissions.

Make first a test.
I see some permissions were not transfered.
