RE: Free Utility to Copy Share and NTFS Permissions from One SAN Disk to Another
Some of us still have entry level tech's. I would rather make it harder to get it to work, than have a oops, everyone now has full rights to the CEO's personal folder. On the rare occasion that a tech goofs on permissions, they have to goof twice if using shares. -Original Message- From: James Rankin [mailto:kz2...@googlemail.com] Sent: Friday, September 04, 2009 12:47 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Free Utility to Copy Share and NTFS Permissions from One SAN Disk to Another Whoa!

I personally prefer it.
