Hold and eDiscovery feature in SharePoint 2010

I have been tasked to deploy the Hold and eDiscovery feature for an entire farm so that the legal team in the enterprise can create litigation holds in SP 2010. This feature is managed at the site collection level, but it does not automatically turn on the features on each subsite. I had to come up with a quick solution to enable this for all sites:

get-spsite | get-spweb | foreach-object {enable-spfeature -id hold -url $_.Url}

Powershell to the rescue (again)

Robocopy Error 31 A device attached to the system is not functioning

I was migrating Windows file shares to NetApp CIFS shares using Robocopy. I was unable to copy owner information or NTFS Security (/COPY:DATSOU) without getting this Error: ERROR 31 (0x0000001F) Copying NTFS Security to Destination Directory F:\PATH A device attached to the system is not functioning. I thought it may be the zone information on may of these files. I used the Sysintenals Streams utility to remove that information. It did not help. In the end, I was forced to copy without NTFS information (/COPY:DATU) When I viewed the properties of any share, folder, or file, the length of time to enumerate and display the permissions was exceedingly slow. I tried disabling anti-virus, etc. In the end, I had to manually re-create the permissions after the initial data copy. File ownership information was lost. UPDATE: I ran a CHKDSK /F and following a reboot this robocopy functioned fine.

"The following factors also affect the level of access for" user with excess permissions

Image
I have a user that had access to site settings, all content, etc. I double checked her access and it was read only but the permissions check tool showed a panel beneath the site permissions that showed Allow for many categories. She had full control. "The following factors also affect the level of access for" She was added as a Site Collection Administrator. I don't know who would have added her there, but someone had. If you find this type of issue, that should be the first thing you check. You can also check the Web Application User Policy in Central Admin. That's the other area I find people or groups with elevated permissions.
