robocopy /mir /copyall &nbsp;\\computer1\e$ \\computer2\e$ &nbsp; &nbsp;would have kept all the permissions settings.<br />
<br />
<br />
Since it's been copied already, use subinacl.exe from from the resource kit to set the owner<br />
<br />
cd to the directory.<br />

for /d %i in (*) do subinacl /subdirectories %i /setowner=domain\%i &nbsp;should do the trick.<br />

I have recently migrated users' home directories from one server to another. &nbsp;I need to set the permissions on the files to the user and securityadmin only. &nbsp;How would I do this in a batch file (or script) as the user for each directory is different? Thanks.<br />

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
