I am using ROBOCOPY (run from the 2008 R2 server) to migrate data from a Windows 2003 clustered array to a Windows 2008 R2 clustered array and am experiencing sharing issues at the new location.
Command Line: robocopy "\\NAS1W2003\Folder1" "\\NAS2W2008\Folder1" /S /E /PURGE /COPY:DATSOU /DCOPY:T /LOG+:"D:\RoboCopyLogs\Robocopy.log" /TEE /R:5 /W:0
If I create a new folder under the root of the new drive, sharing works correctly on it, along with applying sharing specifically to any sub-folders. However, anytime I move data with ROBOCOPY, as defined in the command above, and I share the parent folder, ALL sub-folders show up shared as indicated by the Share Status at the bottom of the explorer window, but do not show up shared in properties. Also, when I click on the Share tab, the property window freezes for awhile before showing the Share tab. Any attempt to alter sharing on these sub-folders is futile, even if I create a new sub-folder under the parent folder. Security is copyied correctly and sharing works fine on the copied parent folder, but is disfunttional on all sub-folders.
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced the behavior. Thanks for your input.
