I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I have to move a folder that contains many subfolders from one server to another. Both have Win NT Server on them. The question I have is if there is an easy way of keeping the permissions on that folder and all of its subfolders over the move. Kinda hoping I wont have to sit there and reset all the permissions on these folders. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

When you copy a folder from one server to another, all of the folders and subfolders will inherit the permissions of the location that you are copying into.
I'm not aware of a way around that. By the way, If you could do that, you would immediately have permission problems because users are based on \\computer_name\user_name and/or domain_name\username.
