Replicate Permissioning

Here is a script I have written that will replicate the permissions between two folders including all subfolders and file permissions. Execute the script and you will be prompted for the source and destination folders. It will first parse through and set folder permissions, followed by parsing through file permissions.

You can download the script here.

 .SYNOPSIS  
   Copy Permissions  
 .DESCRIPTION  
   This script will replication permissions for both files and folders using  
   robocopy. Change the $SourceDrive and $DestinationDrive variables to match what  
   you need to replicate.
