I am interested in finding Powershell scripts that can be used\tweaked to migrate folder permissions across servers\environments.

Is this a feasible approach? I would like to automate our deployment process a little more.

Can someone point me to an example?

Thanks

Are you looking to copy the folders as well or just the permissions? – DKNUCKLES Oct 2 '12 at 15:43
Please don't cross-post. Ask your question in one place, if you discover it is the wrong place flag it for migration. – Zoredache Oct 2 '12 at 17:03

I am not sure if you want to use PowerShell or if you need to use PowerShell.

If you dont need to, just use Robocopy.

This script would copy files;

robocopy.exe "\\SOURCESRV\ShareName" "\\DESTSRV\ShareName" /E /SEC /R:1

The /R:1 switch is not essential, just stops the program from hanging if it cannot read a file.

Maybe enable a log to monitor in case this happens? /Log:C:
