Re: NTFS copy/move within partition

Hello Johnny,

If you move folderE to folderA, it will keep the permissions also on the files in folderE.

Best regards

These are the instructions. I perform them on XP/2000/2003/2008.

1. Create a new folder in the root of C: named FolderA
2. Create a new folder in the root of C: and two files within it with
the
following criteria:
. Name this folder: FolderE.
. Name the files: FileE1 and FileE2
3. Change the permissions of FolderE.
. Add a few users and groups into the permissions list.
. Make sure you change the permissions enough so that you can easily
distinguish the difference between the permissions of FolderA and
FolderE.
4. Check the permissions of the two files in FolderE to make sure that
they
inherited the permissions of their parent (FolderE).
5. Copy FileE1 to FolderC.
6. Check the permissions of FileE1.
. Have the permissions changed?
7. Move FileE2 to FolderC.
8. Check the permissions of FileE2.
. Have the permissions changed?
In XP/2000/2003, they have the same traditional results; the copied
file inherits FolderA permissions, the moved file does not. In 2008,
both files, inherit FolderA permissions, even the moved file. I also
try moving the file to other folder locations within the same
partition with different permission sets, and the file always inherits
the destination. ???

I've been doing this for years in 2000, XP, 2003. Now testing on
Server
2008
Standard - porting my 2003 lab exercises to 2008. I have a FolderX
with
two
files, I set specific permissions for users for both files. I copy
one
file
to FolderY and move one file to the same FolderY. Both files inherit
the
destination folder's permissions. ?? In the past, the copied file
inherited
the destination's NTFS properties (compression, encryption,
security) but
the
moved file kept its original properties. Has anything changed? I've
tried
this 4 times in 2008 and it inherits the destination properties,
tried it
again multiple times in 2003/XP and they do what they're supposed to
do
(different copy and move results). Help??
Some things to consider:

- Same partition, ok, but are you referencing them through the same
drive letter or UNC?
- how *exactly* are you permitting the files - i.e., show a cacls
dump.
An earlier change to NTFS that added dynamic inheritance resulted in
similar anomalies. When the upgrade was applied, a partition that had
previously had its file permissions inherited statically might be
shown as if the inheritance was dynamic, however, it was never clear
to me whether or not the dynamic inheritance was actually enabled in
those cases. There were also problems resulting from setting
permissions from older clients.
