I performed a copy from our 2008R2 File Server to our new 2016 File Server and afterwards, when I tried to access the files and folders via an rdp connection on the 2016 server I got a message stating that I did not have access to the folder and to click continue to access them. When I choose "Continue" to allow access to the folders I was able to get to them all, but I found that it had explicitly added my account to the ACL. The problem is the account I ran the copy the copy from is an admin account on both systems and the admin group is in the ACL for every file and folder on both servers. Also, I ran the copy from the 2016 server, the destination server, by right-clicking on the FreeFileSync shortcut on my desktop and chose to run as administrator. Also, I included the copying of ACLs and ownership in this process.

Despite the steps I took above I still ran into this problem with ACLs. Can someone please help with this?

Thanks in advance
