Thanks all for the help, I ended up just using the MS File and Server Migration Wizard. I tried re-running the /copy:DATSOU and included skipped files but didn’t seem to change. I also removed the default permissions inherting. In any event, the copy wizard worked fine, it was only about 100gb of data. It made both shares unusable until the copy was complete so I will need to go back and verify the robocopy with perms using the /mir for the future…

I also did a "icacls driveletter:\path\* /save aclfile /T" on the source to backup all the permissions, then after I finished the robocopy i used "icacls targetdriveletter:\targetpath /restore aclfile /T" to reset all the permissions on the copied files. I did the icacls using the same source and target driveletters and paths on the servers though, so I don't have results on a different source and target drive/path. I also exported the registry key for the shares on the source server and imported it to the target server. After that was completed, I used permcopy to migrate the share level permissions. - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/174273 As far as I know, there was zero fallout on the file and folder migrations for the users. Some of the steps may have been redundant, but I wanted to take a shotgun approach and make sure nothing was missed.

Presuming the home directories are the same as usernames... In a command prompt from the home folder dir /ad /b >userdirs.txt for /f %f in (userdirs.txt) do cacls %f /t /e /c /r everyone for /f %f in (userdirs.txt) do cacls %f /t /e /c /g %f:c Although, figuring this out via robocopy might be useful for future reference, too.

I was never able to get my head completely around what it was doing but it is a weirdness that is documented on the internets.

I have a \\server\users <file:///\\server\users> folder share that i am copying to \\server2\c$\users <file:///\\server2\c$\users> . The copy is going fine using the /MIR option as we prep for migration. I started poking around and noticed that all the perms are security default from the top folder. Do I need to shut that off in order for perms to come over correctly? The actual command: robocopy \\server\users\ <file:///\\server\users\> \\server2\users\ <file:///\\server2\users\> /MIR /SEC /R:5 /W:3 Im going to run it with the /SECFIX or maybe use the /COPY:DATSOU flags instead?
