Robocopy Permissions Issues

[Bigtm]

Hello, I have initiated data transfers from older servers to new File servers using robocopy. Files and Folders structures transfer without any problems. The main concern is that the folder permissions do not seem to migrate across with the data. I used the following command:

robocopy.exe "\\Messiah\staff$" "\\Apollo\staff$" /ZB /R:3 /W:2 /TEE /LOG:robocopy_staff.txt /MIR /XA:SH

Do I need to add anything to get the exact folder permissions to copy across? At present all I get are the default inherited permissions from the new servers.

Kind Regards,
BigTM.

You should only need to add the /SEC switch to the command.
