I have myself a problem here:

I manage a small server in a school and I need to move A LOT of folders
between partitions. If I just copy them or move them, windows doesn't seem
to remember permissions and defined shares. I was wondering if there is a
way to do this (preferrably a clean way).

Hopefully someone can help me on this one!

Kind regards

I use "xcopy /d /e /c /h /r /o /y /i source dest"
I use the /i so that I can just drag and drop the folder onto the command prompt.
The option that you are looking for is the "/o". It says to copy permissions.

"xcopy /?" will show you what all the options are.

I have tried robocopy as well, but it would crash my 2003 server if I had iSCSI disks.

May you have the peace and freedom that come from abandoning all hope of having a better past.
