Permissions when copying/moving on the same volume on a Windows 2008 R2 server

Solution 1:

I tested with shares on the same server volume via a remote workstation

From the remote workstation's point of view, the shares are seen as different volumes. Because they are going to be treated as different volumes, with Win7/2k8R2, it will thus inherit the permissions of the destination directory.

How is the remote computer supposed to know the file server's storage design or if the two shares are on the same underlying volume on the file server? If it connecting to DFS shares, they might even be on different servers.
