That'll work, but if the two departments need the permissions to be in the same style but with different groups, that's not the way to fly. For instance, if directory1 needs permissions for managers and staff of department1, but directory2 needs permissions for managers and staff of department2, robocopy won't do the trick. Fileacl and others will allow you to export the permissions from old directory, search/replace for directories and groups, then apply the massaged permissions to the new directory.
