I don't ask permission, I notify the users and I take ownership and
grant Administrators permissions, and make sure permissions are
inherited.
Once that's done, I offer to work with them to get the permissions
rational. Normally that means moving subdirectories up the tree so
that breaking inherit
This happens almost every time. Someone who doesn't know what they're doing
has the right to change permissions and they don't include Administrators.
Usually the next issue I find is that when I try to take ownership and
reset perms, there are stragglers, sometimes lots of them. It's good that

Oh, the joys of special permissions on sub-folders ...
Good thing I did an initial run using the /CREATE switch (thanks for
that!). Found a number of errors, couldn't access destination folder.
Checking the source folder permissions, I see that these have been set
manually - not inherited, limit

Why not set up DFS and use DFS-R to copy the data? Migrate how you connect
to the shares to a dfs namespace. Once initial replication is complete,
change your folder targets to only the new server and retire the old one.

I'll have to disagree here.
I love DFSR, but I don't believe that DFSR is a great fit for this

Initial configuration, and subsequent teardown, are just not worth the effort.

I’ve done robocopy /mir so that I can get big datasets overnight. As my

a high degree of confidence that I’ve moved all of the data and don’t have

Oh, yes
My thoughts make the assumption that this will be done while users are
not in play.
If that's not true, there are a couple of things that will need to be adjusted.

- Can't shut down the server service, but probably still sho
I'm hoping that the data is on a separate partition from the OS.
That's pretty critical.
Some things to consider

as I've found robocopy to be very robust.
