# Transfer DACL, SACL and object owner using PowerShell:

Get-Acl -Path 'C:\path\to\source' | Set-Acl -Path 'C:\path\to\destination'

#
# Using icalcs (https://serverfault.com/a/404038)
#
# The '/t' switch allows it to get sub-folder permissions too. The '/c' switch
# allows it to continue even if errors are encountered (although errors will
# still be displayed).

icacls D:\source /save perms.txt /t /c
icacls D:\destination /restore perms.txt
