I want to move a data folder from a BDC to a member server in the same domain but I want to keep the current permissions intact. I tried a test with folders I created but I was unsuccessful. how can I do this without having to reset the permissions on this folder and subfolder. This is a large folder in size.

Hi.

To do this you can use Xcopy32.exe (comes with Windows NT from SP 4 onwards I think, or you can use permcopy.exe which comes with the NT resource kit.

To get more detail on how to do this using permcopy, see the following TechNet article: Q174273

To see this article, go to http://www.microsoft.com and do a search for the article number.

I hope this helps.
Regards.

sorry, I meant xcopy.exe, not xcopy32, and this is for preserving share permissions, not NTFS permissions.
