      no randsomware. From what I read and what I can see, the files were from a zip file that was extracted by a Mac. Most of the files are somewhere else in the folder tree.

      I put the robocopy in a .bat file called "copyPublicFiles.bat" being run from the root of the drive.

        It doesn't appear to be a robocopy issue since I can't access the files through Windows. I can rename them, but not open or copy them.

          Who is the owner of the file?

          If it is encrypted, you'll need to decrypt it.

            Robocopy should be able to copy an encrypted file without knowing the difference.

              @Mike-Davis are you running the script from the server were the files reside, or a remote system?

                Owner of the file is the domain\administrators group and I can't take ownership.

                I'm running the script on a remote system. This is the server where if I log in locally, it locks up. Once I have the bulk of the users files over and cut the shares over, I can probably reboot to safe mode and see if I have any more options there.

                  Does it lock up if you use PowerShell?

                    Any reason you can't mount this drive into another working system to copy the files off?

                      Doing a remote robocopy, while not "disallowed" isn't really the best approach in my experience.

                      I've always run robocopy from the source, not from the target (or on a intermediary server)

                        The old server is physical, so I would have to pull the RAID array...

                              Any chance that the robocopy job is just too intensive? Have you tried any other solutions like powershell?

                                That's not exactly a direct answer. When you log in remotely from PowerShell?

                                  using the copy-item powershell command returns

                                  Was there another powershell command I should try?

                                    So Copy-Item fails from perms, can you change perms over PowerShell to get control of the file?

                                      Not sure how to do that. Everyone already has full control and I already have ownership, and you can't give ownership. Normally the command would be get-acl, add you permissions to the ones in the array, then set-acl. You can't add yours to the list when they are already there.

                                        Those are NTFS ACLs. Are you sure that you have permission to read/copy in SMB? Because you are accessing through the SMB filesystem here, not talking to NTFS directly. So check those perms as well.

                                            So how is a Mac involved here? It seems like you are trying to do a Windows to Windows copy, no Mac in the process?
