I can't change folders/files from Read Only to Read/Write
Hi All,
I'm in the middle of a catastrophe.
Over the weekend our main file and profile server (Windows 2003 Server) data (user profiles\documents\file share)
was RoboCopied over to another server (preserving ACLs - Windows 2008 Server).
Now on Monday morning, no one in the organisation can write to any of their profiles or
the file share - everything is marked as "Read Only"!
I have attempted the following to no avail:
- taking ownership as administrator
- running "attrib -r +s X:\folder name /S /D
- changing user permissions on folders
All the correct user permissions are still in place, so its not like RoboCopy didn't work correctly...
I need a fix that gets rid of all the Read Only tags across every folder/file.
This read only thing is killing us - any thoughts/suggestions/fixes

RoboCopy didn't copying sharing permissions.
The error message is deceptive, I thought it was the "Read Only" attribute that is 'applied' on all the folders on the new 2008 server now.

Windows Server 2003
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).
