You can use the ROBOCOPY tool from the resource kit. It will enable you to mirror (/MIR) the structure and copy the security rights as well (/SEC).<br />

Will that bypass the normal security settings on files and folders? Usually, I have to take ownership before I can access all of these?

I have to move a tree of user folders (about 150G) from one server to another because of hardware problems. The only way I can think to do this is to back them up and then restore to new location. Is there a better/faster way?

What is the fastest way to move a tree of user folders from one server to another?

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
