samba - keeping permissions and ownership



I have a working samba server that has a project template
directory tree that includes subdirectories. Some of those
subdirectories have different permissions on them. eg I want
only members of group 'admin' to be able to read/write to one of
them.

If the template directory, with all its subdirectories, is copied
using a windows machine, the permissions are all changed to the
username and primary group of the user who copied it. The
'admin' only read/write permissions on the relevant directory are
gone.

The relevant section from /etc/samba/smb.conf is:

[Templates]
path = /office/templates
read only = No
create mask = 0700
directory mask = 0700

Is there a way to achieve what I want? - maintaining the
ownership/permissions?
