Robocopy
Using Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, I am trying to copy all the files and folders from \\Source\Atlanta to \\Target\Atlanta. Using Robocopy, what would be the command/switches I use? I tried
robocopy \\source\atlanta \\target\atlanta /e /mir /xa:h /r:10 /w:10
the files copied but the security permissions did not. I inserted /sec and still security permissions didn't copy. I built a server for our Atlanta office so I need to copy the Atlanta shares to the Atlanta server then ship the server to Atlanta. I would like to try the command now, then do it again the day before I ship it which could be 2 weeks from now. please help

Hi
robocopy \\source\atlanta \\target\atlanta /MIR /E /Z /LOG:C:\Robocopylog.txt /TEE /R:2 /W:0
/MIR Mirrors a directory tree
/E Copies all subdirectories including empty ones.
/Z Copies files in restartable mode (that is, restarts the copy process from the point of failure).
/LOG: Generates a log file name robocopylog.txt
/TEE Logs to file as well as to the console
/R:0 Number of times to retry copying a locked file
/W:0 Time in between retry attempts

wilder admin gui is good too but I don't like to install any unnecessary stuff on the server, I don't wanna run this command from a desktop/laptop
Amac81 I received an error message ERROR: you do not have the manage auditing user right. You need this to copy auditing information. I am logged in as an admin
Emmanuel files did copy I drilled down a few folders and checked security and security doesn't match the source. these 2 servers are in the same domain.

That is odd if you're admin, but try this without the copyall (thus without the Auditing info)
robocopy \\source\atlanta \\target\atlanta /e /copy:DATSO /mir /xa:h /r:10 /w:10
robocopy \\source\atlanta \\target\atlanta /e /copy:DATSO /mir /xa:h /r:10 /w:10
In the gui all options are explained.
