I am migrating a share from a server 2003R2 box to a 2008R2 standard box (vmware esx guest). I run the robocopy command to mirror the two shares from the new server under an elevated prompt using the paths \\oldserver\share to d:\newpath.It appears to have the same effect if I use the source via mapped drive. Everything appears to copy just fine with no errors. However, no matter what switches I throw /secfix /copyall, /dcopy:t etc. the directory permissions dont seem to flow. I can access the root folder, but all subfolders tell me I "dont currently have permissions to access this folder" and asks if I want access permanently. I have 126gb of files in thousands of folders. there is no way I can go through each and every one by hand. I have tried to take ownership, but it fails out at random spots throughout the tree and wont grant access. I am logged into a member server with domain and enterprise admin rights. Suggestions?

Hi, What's the account you are using when trying to use /sefix to fix the permission settings? Have a test to use psexec to run cmd.exe as SYSTEM account: http://verbalprocessor.com/2007/12/05/running-a-cmd-prompt-as-local-system/ Then try the following command to fix permissions as files are already copied. robocopy <var>source destination</var> /secfix /xo /xn /xc See this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323275TechNet Subscriber Support in forum |If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tnmff@microsoft.com.

it appears to be a UAC issue. If I disable UAC, I can access all of the folders from the console without problems.
