Does anybody know if using Robocopy with the "/B" option would have the
effect of adjusting permissions on the files (not folders) to some sort
of base/standard?  I am migrating some files and had decided to try this
option to get around "access denied" errors for things where folks had
changed the default permissions or whatnot.  I thought it was going
swimmingly until I discovered that the files are not getting the
permissions from the originals, although I had the "/COPY:DATSO"
attribute there (even tried with "/COPYALL").  The *folders* have got
the right permissions, they just are not inheriting the permissions from
the files.  The files are basically set to Administrators and System
having full control and Users having read only.  Additionally, the owner
all show as the local administrator.  Here is the command I was using:

ROBOCOPY \\server\share E:\dir\subdir\ /B /MIR /COPY:DATSO /R:0 /NDL
/LOG+:"c:\path\robolog.txt" /TEE

If "/B" is what invoked it, is there any easy way to send a new command
that would just go and mirror the permissions/owner?
