We want to clean install of Windows 2000 servers and we want to copy ACLs from NT4 box to a new W2k server. We are loking for a utility which will copy file-lever security permission.

Thanks

Hi,
This is off the cuff, as I haven't tested it. If both boxes are in the same domain, and you are moving files from the NT box to the win2k box, then the reskit util xcopy has a /o switch which also copies file ownership and acl info. The reasonwhy you'll need to test this first (just create a couple of files on the NT box, assign permissions then xcopy them on to the win2k box and check) is 'cos I'm not sure if the fact that the win2k box has ntfs 5 will cause a problem. Hope it goes ok...
