Copy NTFS permissions

08-01-2007

I want to copy files from one volume to another. Files copied with copy-item
do not retain NTFS permissions; they inherit the destination permissions.

How might I achieve this? How can I read and set permissions using
PowerShell most efficiently?

You can get the permissions from the source with Get-ACL
Then you can set the permissions at the destination with Set-ACL

To read about them:

Help Get-ACL
Help Set-ACL
