I have 2 servers (primary & secondary). I have robocopy regularly
copying/mirroring one folder and its children from the primary to the
secondary server, compete with the NTFS permissions. What I would also like
to do is copy the various share points and share permissions of this folder
tree, something that Robocopy doesn't (yet) do. Is there an easy way of
doing it?

nb. I am aware of permcopy from the 2k3 Resource kit, but it requires you to
know the names of the shares and I haven't found an easy way to get just a
list of shares (without extraneous information like server name, permissions,
physical path, etc. that tools like 'net share' and the like provide).

Martin.

You might want to consider DFS as a solution. See:

DFS was considered but not persued in the end due to potential replication
issues among other things. It would be nice if Robocopy was share-aware, but
it isn't...
