Hello, We have to migrate all our files on our file servers E drive partiton to the H Drive on the same Windows 2008 R2 server and keep all permissions and file attributes. What command line would I need to use? I did try this, but am not sure if it covers everything I need: robocopy e:\ h:\ /copyall /e Please help.

that command line is ok it will copy everything you need. You can also consider using /SECFIX /TIMFIX switchesWith kind regards Krystian Zieja http://www.projectnenvision.com Follow me on twitter My Blog

What do those switches do?

/SECFIX : FIX SECurity info on existing files and dirs. /TIMFIX : FIX Timestamp on all existing destination files, including skipped files. With kind regards Krystian Zieja http://www.projectnenvision.com Follow me on twitter My Blog

I had a problem I ran: robocopy e:\ h:\ /copyall /e and it was running for hours, it mange to copy around 1TB and then it paused on a file and said access denied. I found the server had no permission to the file. How can I take owernship of the file during the copy? I don't want to ship the file either as it could be important.

Try to use /B or /ZB to copy the files which you do not have permission. Or change the retry time to skip these files but output a log so that you will get the file name of which files are skipped. Take ownership of these files and copy again.Shaon Shan |TechNet Subscriber Support in forum |If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.com
