I am migrating about 300 Windows NT 4.0 domains into one Active Directory
domain. I am also migrating file and print in the process. I have developed
a way of reading the ACLs on the existing NT 4.0 servers and re-applying them
on the new Windows 20O3 servers. Unfortunately after using the XCACLS utility
to re-apply the rights, I get the following warning when I try to read
permissions on a file or a folder:

"The permissions on FolderName are incorrectly ordered, which may cause some
entries to be ineffective. Press OK to continue and sort the permissions
correctly, or Cancel to reset the permissions"

Everything seems to work correctly after pressing OK to this message.
Obviously it would be completely impossible for me to do that for all files
and folders.

I have found a hotfix (KB article ID#834721) for CACLS but that one is for
Windows 2000. Also, I need to use XCACLS as I believe CACLS does not support
the /Y switch. Has anybody seen this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to look into it.

I am using the XCACLS.EXE that comes with Windows 2003 Support Tools.

Please use Xcacls.vbs instead of Xcacls as described in the link below:

How to use Xcacls.vbs to modify NTFS permissions
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;825751

I believe it helps.
