Hello, I am trying to copy a folder from one server to another using Robocopy in Windows 2008. The security permissions on the folder (ACLs) are not copying properly. Folder Details: Folder #1 on Server A has the following ACLs: Domain Admin -> Full Control, UserX -> Full Control When I use robocopy with the /copyall parameter and copy Folder #1 from Server A to Server B it is missing the "UserX" permissionunder the security tab. The parent folder on Server B does not have inheritance turned on and its security is set to Domain Admin -> Full Control. Why aren't my security/ACLs (namely the permissions ofr USERX)copying properly? Thanks in advance, D
