Windows 10: MoveSecurityAttributes for Server 2016 with Windows 10 users

I've seen some discussion regarding the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer" MoveSecurityAttributes.


My site ran into this issue recently after a comprehensive review of the File server and how it was being used. It appears that once a user moved a file or folder within the same volume then the MoveSecurityAttributes setting was necessary to affect the behavior. This situation is discussed here:

though this article appears out of date, as at the time I am writing this.


Anyway, if you want your users to drag and drop or otherwise move files within a volume and have the files take on the security profile of the destination folder then this key is necessary. Our site runs Windows Server 2016 with users working on Windows 10 workstations. I added the registry key onto the file server (it is not there by default), and tried things out. At first, it did not work. So the article quoted above has some flaws. The way to get this working relies on additional pieces of information. If you want the object to inherit the permissions from the parent folder:

1. Perform these steps from the Windows 2016 File Server. Do not do this on the user workstation.
2. Add the key "MoveSecurityAttributes" to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer" This sub-key is a DWORD type.
3. The value should be "0" if you want the moved object to inherit the permissions from the parent destination folder.
4. Reboot your file server.
5. Test.

This information is as-is (in other words, this worked for us) so if someone uses it and verifies then that would be great.

Hello, We need to modify files in the same volume and move them in the same volumes different folder. Destination folders NTFS permissions are different then orginal location. I found this article for solving this problem but article is valid for server

Are there any way to do this in Server 2016?

Does windows(10/server-2016) have privileged ports ?

I can bind to any un-used privileged ports with out admin credentials. Is this expected ? Is there no concept of privileged ports in new versions of windows ?

Below are the steps I followed:

1. Logged in as non-admin user in Windows-server 2016.
2. Installed python and started the server on port 80 using python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80
3. Another user on the same system could access using http://localhost

Can anyone provide more in-sight into this ?
