Import & Export Security and Owner information

[New User]

Hello:

Does any methods that can import & export the Folder/File Security &
Owner information? It was because I have old NT4 Workgroup machine that
they have local user only. The old server need to retired and new Win2K3
Machine will be setup to replace the old one.

Can you kindly give me some hints? Is it possible to use cacls to dump
the permission & import to another computer?

Thanks!

See tip 8530 » Corrected version of SubInAcl.
in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsifaq.com

For examples of export/import, see tips 8587 » How can I transfer a folder structure, shares, and permissions?
and 9945 » How can a script backup or restore NTFS permissions?

In addition to Jerold's tools, FileACL by Guillaume Bordier
(<http://www.gbordier.com/>) could be useful in your situation. It can
collect ACLs and restore them by producing batch files, much like
TBACKUP in the NetWare/Novell world.

There is also a download link for FileACL 2.8.0.1 at Microsoft.
<http://www.microsoft.co.ke/download...ea-34f0-4e6d-9a72-004d35de4e64&displaylang=en>

The direct download link for that version from MS:
