We just had to migrate over the weekend and we ran into the same issue with Robocopy and permissions on Unity. Somehow it did not flag us during testing. We tried EMCcopy too but for some reason it did not work. Someone recommended GS Richcopy 360 saying it worked with copying permissions to unity. We tested it and it worked just fine. This is how what we used for the rest of the migration (still ongoing). It is also GUI based so easier to use.
It was panic hours for us and I saw this thread so just wanted to make a point to update it. I am not sure why robocopy would not copy permissions.
it copied but the sharing is not enable & when i am trying to see in fs01 ( NAS) server i can see only older folder share.. the share folder ( Copied from windows File server ) & not shared & all the permission are also gone..

Hi pankaj ,
You can try emcopy much reliable and also it will migrate the data with permission.
