No. Secure Copy only needs to be installed onto one of the source or destination servers. For maximum performance we recommend that Secure Copy is installed on the destination server.
Secure Copy's Administrator Override feature allows Secure Copy to access files even the Administrator does not have permissions to ensuring a complete copy of all files selected.
No. Secure Copy does not do anything that the Administrator running Secure Copy does not have permission to do. To overcome "Access Denied" errors the Administrator usually has to take ownership on the problem file(s). Secure Copy eliminates this process, removing the need for manual intervention.
Secure Copy migrates all related NTFS permissions, Shares and Share permissions, File Attributes, Compression Attributes, as well as Users and Groups local to the source server.
There are 3 options for migrating local groups (see picture on left). When migrating a server into AD, Secure Copy creates domain local groups in Active Directory with the same name as the local group on the source, or with a suffix/prefix.
