Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You have a computer that is running one of the following operating systems:
-
Windows Vista
-
Windows Server 2008
-
Windows 7
-
Windows Server 2008 R2
-
-
You configure the value of the MoveSecurityAttributes registry entry to 0 on the computer.Note You can configure the MoveSecurityAttributes registry entry in the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MoveSecurityAttributes
-
You move a folder from one location into a folder in another location on the same NTFS volume.
In this scenario, the folder and all files in it may contain some Access Control Entries (ACEs) associated with the previous location. After you perform the previous steps, the expected result is that the folder and all files in it only contain the ACEs associated with the new location. This behavior is known as "Copy File Semantics" and is enabled in Windows Server 2003 by using the previously mentioned registry entry.
Cause
This issue occurs because the MoveSecurityAttributes registry entry is not supported in Windows 7, in Windows Vista, in Windows Server 2008 or in Windows Server 2008 R2 .
Resolution
To resolve this issue, install the following hotfix package on the affected computer.Note To guarantee that the moved objects only include permissions from the new parent folder, you have to make sure that the hotfix package is installed and that the value of the MoveSecurityAttributes registry entry is set to 0.
