Take ownership of folders (root folder) and replace owner on subcontainers, then set permission to full access for everyone and go to advanced -&gt; replace permissions on child objects. It will take a while, but will work.

You will not be able to copy if the user you are using does not have file access permissions, thats why I said to set permissions to everyone. If it is domain and the same users reside on both servers (not same names, but SIDs), you can try backing up and restoring data to preserve all permissions.

We are installing a new file server and are copying the data off the old server onto the new one. &nbsp;I created a share on the new server and set the permissions to allow everyone to be able to read and write to the share. &nbsp;I logged into the old server and stopped the file from being shared and made myself the owner of the folder. &nbsp;We are coping about 40 Gigs of data and it keeps stopping on a file telling me i do not have access. &nbsp; Problem is there are TONS of subfolders and to find these files would take for ever. &nbsp;Any suggestions?<br />

Copying Data

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
