Re: Problem with security rights

Hi

I was wondering if it was possible to copy a folder without losing
every security rights I've already set on It.

Folder: Template

SubFolders: Example1, Example2, Example 3 and Example4

Parts of my problem is: Some person have rights on any file within
subfolder Example1, other from Example2 and so on. Few have Rights
on file within all subfolder. In any case creating groups and
setting rights on those group ... well it's almost impossible to do
so.

So ... the only way I can do it, I think, it's to grant rights to
every individual (what
a pain). Lucky me 80% of those person have the same rights for
every copie of the folder Template.

If I were able to copy the template without losing those right it
would be great but ...

My second problem is that rights on the subfolder are not all
inherit from the parent folder(Template). And when I copy the
template folder and rename it. The new folder Keep the rights from
the template folder but lose every inherit rights from the
subfolder ... which doesnt help me.

So is there a way to copy the structure Template (subfolders
included) without losing any rights (inherit or not)

Of course english is not my strong suit, so i hope I was clear
enough.

While I cannot say I understood everything - I focused in on the first real
sentence..

Note the "/O" option of the XCOPY command.
If I misunderstood your need - I apologize.

C:\> xcopy /?

Copies files and directory trees.

XCOPY source [destination] [/A | /M] [/D[:date]] [/P] [/S [/E]] [/V] [/W]
[/C] [/I] [/Q] [/F] [/L] [/G] [/H] [/R] [/T] [/U]
[/K] [/N] [/O] [/X] [/Y] [/-Y] [/Z]
[/EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]...]

source Specifies the file(s) to copy.
destination Specifies the location and/or name of new files.
/A Copies only files with the archive attribute set,
doesn't change the attribute.
/M Copies only files with the archive attribute set,
turns off the archive attribute.
/D:m-d-y Copies files changed on or after the specified date.
If no date is given, copies only those files whose
source time is newer than the destination time.
/EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]...
Specifies a list of files containing strings. Each string
should be in a separate line in the files. When any of the
strings match any part of the absolute path of the file to be
copied, that file will be excluded from being copied. For
example, specifying a string like \obj\ or .obj will exclude
all files underneath the directory obj or all files with the
.obj extension respectively.
/P Prompts you before creating each destination file.
/S Copies directories and subdirectories except empty ones.
/E Copies directories and subdirectories, including empty ones.
Same as /S /E. May be used to modify /T.
/V Verifies each new file.
/W Prompts you to press a key before copying.
/C Continues copying even if errors occur.
/I If destination does not exist and copying more than one file,
assumes that destination must be a directory.
/Q Does not display file names while copying.
/F Displays full source and destination file names while
copying.
/L Displays files that would be copied.
/G Allows the copying of encrypted files to destination that
does
not support encryption.
/H Copies hidden and system files also.
/R Overwrites read-only files.
/T Creates directory structure, but does not copy files. Does
not
include empty directories or subdirectories. /T /E includes
empty directories and subdirectories.
/U Copies only files that already exist in destination.
/K Copies attributes. Normal Xcopy will reset read-only
attributes.
/N Copies using the generated short names.
/O Copies file ownership and ACL information.
/X Copies file audit settings (implies /O).
/Y Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
existing destination file.
/-Y Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
existing destination file.
/Z Copies networked files in restartable mode.

The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment variable.
This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line.
