Using xcopy

[John S]

I am getting ready to migrate all the shares, directories
and files from our file server to a new file server.
When I attempted the following:
xcopy d: g: /T /E (just wanted directory structure at this
point)
It created the directories successfully until it hit a
folder that has sensitive HR data in it, and it
said "access denied".
I know I would need to take ownership of it, but is there
a way to identify which folders I may run into with the
same attributes before I proceed with xcopy?

Thanks, - John

I don't know of a way to do that however I know that you
should be able to change the owner at a high level
directory and apply this to all other directories below
it. Once that's changed you shouldn't run into the
issue. Also check the security at that high level, make
sure you add the admin and apply to all.
