Unable to copy Local Administrator ntfs priviledge

Hi there.

I'm just copying data from Windows to EMCNAS.

And I found local administrator now changed SID in nas, which seems the original local administrator ntfs security information on Windows not copied correctly to EMCnas.

Has anyone experienced this situation?

Could you tell me how you copy local administrator's security?

----

Oops! sorry, I forgot to write what tool I'm using.

Currently I'm trying Robocopy as well as EMCOpy.

I enabled local user and modified local administrator's password on CIFS server, too.

Regards

Sameer,

Thanks to comment on it.

I forgot to write which tool I'm using.

Of course, I'm using those copying tools; mostly I prefer robocopy though, but ONLY LOCAL ADMINISTRATOR's security seems not copied and changed to SID.

Does anyone know this problem?

Best.

Hi,

you need to use tools to copy the security/attribs of the files/folders, you can use tools such as EMCopy or Robocopy to copy the files with security.

You need to use a tool and options that re-create the ACLs with the new SID

EMC’s lgdup and emcopy can do this – see the Windows CIFS tools manual

Otherwise you would need to re-acl

By default local users are not created when you create the CIFS server

Are you talking about local administrator group or user?

If you created the local administrator user, did you changed it's initial password and are you able to map a share as that user?

Thanks to notify me the article, I'll check it soon.

Thank you also for such a quick reply.

I'm talking about local administrator itself.

I already enabled local user and modifeid local admimistrator's password.

So, I thought windows local administrator security could be copied to nas.

Any other idea?

Regards.

By default the copy tools will copy the owner and ACL information using the same SID – which doesn’t work for local users and groups

You need a tool that’s capable of SID translation / migration – emcopy can do that – I don’t know about robocopy

If you want it easy – use the EMC tools
