Wow! I was blown away by the sheer volume of postings on this list. When I looked at the archives, the owner of the list was the author of most of these tip-filled posts on a variety of operating systems and software applications.
Here's a sample of the kind of information you'll find at this most prolific list:
"A reader recently asked how to use a batch file to automate the movement of files but still retain the files' security permission and audit settings. Windows' built-in XCOPY and MOVE commands are fantastic tools; however, neither will retain security attributes while processing files. Windows doesn't ship with any tools for this task, so you must obtain a third-party tool. One such tool is SCOPY from the Windows NT Server 4.0 Resource Kit.
"SCOPY works similar to the COPY command, with the added benefit of two command-line switches that let users specify whether to copy a file's security permissions and audit settings. The /o switch instructs the tool to copy owner security information, and the /a switch copies the audit information."
