Explanation

In Windows, when a folder or file is copied to a new location, it inherits the NTFS permissions of the destination (parent) folder. This is a key distinction from a move operation: moving a file within the same NTFS volume preserves the original permissions, but copying always results in the new copy inheriting permissions from its destination. Since the folder is being copied into a shared folder, the copied folder will take on the permissions of the shared folder it is placed into. Ownership does not automatically transfer to the domain administrator, permissions are not lost and do not need to be manually recreated, and the original permissions are not retained on a copy.
