File migration to win2k3 – Permissions

by cenedra . Updated 20 years ago

Hi,

We’re running a migration of data from a legacy domain (NT4) to an new Win2k3 server using the Quest Storage Suite tool.

The files are migrating without too many issues but the permissions are a problem. They come over with Admin access for the legacy domain, but unless we apply inheritance from the root folder they don’t have admin access for the new domain.

If we apply inheritance the permissions further down the tree (which are locked up very tightly) are messed up by pulling too many permissions from intermediate level folders.

Is there a way to force admin access to all the files but keep the rest of the permissions up and down the tree as they should be other than going in and manually adding them? I know that’ll keep me in a job until doomsday but I don’t think it’s a good plan!
