Administrators Rights to ALL files and folders in server
Hi! What is the easiest way to give ADMINISTRATORS complete rights to all files and folders in the whole server?
I'm about to move to a new server and are about copying files over to that. For example Administrators has as standard no access to the users homedirs. I don't want to affect the rest of the userrights, because the server is still in use.

Hi! Thank you, there are new user accounts on the new server. If I also copy all rights and ownerships with the files, the user can't use them on the new server?

Hi Sembee! Okey, then there are no solution other then wait until the server will be replaced. Can I apply an "Everyone" to all directorys under D: as u mention and then remove it later? With the result that all rights are as before? Because I'm glad if I can have it intact and switch back to this old server if anything goes terrible wrong :-).
I wouldn't use Everyone - you could use Authenticated users instead.
While you can put the permission at the top level, any folders that do not have inheritance enabled will not get the permission.
