Update just file / folder permissions - Windows Server

[stefanz]

I have a couple of Windows servers on a domain that on which FFS is mirroring (one-way) from an older to new machine. This includes a general shared directory tree as well as personal user folders. I had started this syncing before finding the Tools > Copy DACL, SACL, Owner, Group checkbox.

Checking it and running a Comparison does not pick up the change.

Is there any way to copy over just the file and folder permissions without deleting and syncing everything?

Use Robocopy

Do you mean in conjunction with FreeFileSync, or on its own just to fix permissions?

In looking at - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/robocopy - it could be this:

/secfix Fixes file security on all files, even skipped ones

Just to fix permissions. If you keep using FFS with the option to retain ACLs, you should be fine going forward
