unable to access robocopied folders from console

[cameramonkey]

Here's an odd one.

We are migrating to a new server. After pulling the files from the old server via robocopy (in an elevated prompt) we are not fully able to access the folders from the server console. (without clicking extra approvals)

If I browse to the share from a workstation, I can get into the folders just fine. If I try to access them from the server console it tells me that I dont have access but clicking continue it will grant me access. Once I do that, I can access the folder from that point on.

Any ideas on how to get all the folders unlocked at once? I tried taking ownership of the parent directory but when it tries to adjust the settings in child objects it randomly errors out trying to set the properties on various folders. Same with tweaking the security.


Looking at the folders remotely, all NTFS permissions appear accurate.
