Retain object (File, folder) ownership when moving files from a Windows NT Server to a Windows 2000

[Guest]

Hello
I'm moving files from a Windows NT4 server to a new NAS Windows 2000 based server
The new Windows 2000 server is a member of a NT 4 domain
I'm going to use the disk quota feature that is built in Windows 2000 Server to log or limit disk usage by user
Disk quota in Windows 2000 is calculated using file (and folder) ownership. For this reason, I have to retain file ownership while moving (or copying) files from the old NT to the new 2000
I've tried using ROBOCOPY with the /SEC parameter: the files access permissions is copied, but the ownership is NOT mantaind; The new propietary off all the files in the new server is NEW_SERVER\Administrators
¿some ideas

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried XCOPY? In a Command Prompt, key xcopy /? - see the /o
option.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
