@garak0410 /secfix needs more info. Add /copyall

I added it and it still doesn't like secfix...maybe my syntax is still bad:
robocopy /mir /sec /secfix /copyall "\oldserver\d$" "\newserver\e$"
and the double \ is in there, just now showing up in the post...
-
Use three backslashes for it to show up.
-
Why are using /sec and /secfix ? One or the other.
-
And I don't believe that you can mix /mir with /copyall

Because it was suggested earlier in this thread...LOL
-
/sec applies security, /secfix attempts to fix it. Pretty sure that they cannot be mixed.

Thanks dude...copying now.
I am doing a copy now to test some login scripts before Friday. I'll run a fresh one on Friday evening. Getting closer...got another problem I'll make in another post...Anti-Virus migration isn't going "by the book."
-
Who is the AV provider? Most of the big players are here in the forum. Definitely open a new thread but I'll see about getting vendor eyes on it too.

Getting a lot of these on the same file...is there a flag to skip this error or go to the next file? It will not proceed:
Access is denied.

Waiting 30 seconds... Retrying...It should skip after a few attempts. Do you have a lot of things open? Ideally you want everything turned off.

Not at the moment...this is a sbscolsole.msc file and it tried at least 10 times before I canceled it...never moved off of it...

This file and it's directory (called Admin) should not be open...I'd like to skip it but continue with copyall if I can.
-
Add /r:1 to make it only try once.
-
Add /zb so that you can start and restart the process.

@scottalanmiller can robocopy copy files you don't have rights to?

No, nothing can. Robocopy runs under your users. Presumably Robocopy would be being run by an admin for a system copy. If you aren't an admin, Robocopy is just another application, it can't circumvent system security. If it could, any tool could.
-
I am an admin, but admins don't have rights to all files. There are reasons to have an admin's rights removed from a file. How would you migrate those files? take ownership?
-
admins (plural) should not have rights
the singular administration account should have access to everything and its use logged.edit: seen your post. if that is already the case, then I would take ownership. but that could cause butt hurt or other ramifications if done without proper CYA

Admins do have rights, just not rights at all times. There is a difference between blocking and unblocking yourself and not having rights at all. The /b flag tells it to act like backup software. Obviously all backup software has to do the same thing - copy files to which it is not given explicit ownership and can only act as an administrator. So Robocopy just acts as backup software in that instance.
