Is There a Way to Migrate Permissions to a New Server?

[razor]

Hello--

I may be way off base here, but we are migrating our web server to a new box
and wondered if there are any utilities to take the folder permissions from
one server and copy them to the new server?

Thanks,

sd

Both xcopy.exe and robocopy.exe have appropriate
switches to handle permissions.

I used ntbackup once to migrate a file server with all the permissions and
it worked fine.

Yes, I saw how that can be done in a MS KB article #141589.
