Just using two computers for now for the transfer process. Once transfered am going to take the old one out of the computer and put the new one into it. Note I am cloning a JBOD environment from one to the other in order to retire the old one.

Installed it on my work computer to see the settings and my network port was shutdown in minutes of the install due to a virus. I would pull up the exact name but in the options there isn't much to pick so imagine you know the option. NOTE the wierdness between the brackets is the forum tool not meĪm I doing something wrong? I've checked what used to be bring over NTFS permissions. It applies the local administrators group instead or defaults to that. However just on a quick look items like the domain adminstrators group doesn't apply. I have checked the options to transfer permissions and it seems to partly be doing that. When I will, eventually, migrate to W10 at home too I will have to create another local group with my own account and add it into both the USB disk and the local folder.īasically the idea is to replicate the local group Administrators with another group and use the new group wherever the Administrators one is used.I am using FreeFileSync to transfer files from one server to another. When the USB disk is connected to my Seven home desktop the ACL, of course, is not resolved and showed as its GUID but it's not a problems since my account is into the local Administrators local group. Since UAC is stripping my token from the Administrators group, now the permissions on the folders are processed byt the group MyAccounts and so I do not have anymore any restrictions and I do not have to launch FFS with 'Run as Administrator'!

The solution was pretty simple: I have created on the W10 laptop a local group called ' MyAccounts', into that group I have put my account and I have added the group into both the local folder on the Win10 laptop adn the USB drive with Full Control permissions. This means that my account isn't processed as member of the local Administrators group but as member of Users so with only Read rights. I have quickly realised that my ACLs configured on the shared folder aren't optimal for UAC: when UAC is active the token for Administrator's privilege is simply removed and one must do 'run as admin' to have it back. Unfortunately one cannot really completely disable UAC on W10 so I had to start working with the 'run as Administrator' hassle. This works great as long as UAC is disabled.Ī couple of months ago I have changed the work laptop which is now running on Win10 (my home desktop is still running Seven).

Locally on the 2 computer the folder is configured with Full Controls from group Administrators and Read for Users. I do have an external USB drive that I use to keep in sync a folder between my home desktop and my work laptop. I'm also member of local group Administrators.

In my own pc I have always disabled UAC because they are my pc and I known what I'm doing.

If so you better add yourself explicitely into ACLs. 365 OneDrive or SharePoint Copy open files Copy NTFS permissions - Support Long Path Name. Are you running on a UAC aware os? Is UAC active? Find the top alternatives to FreeFileSync currently available.
