Migrating Files without losing share name and Security permission(ACL)

Hi,

I am migrating Windows 2000 to Windows 2003 soon. After the extending
the schema on Windows 2000 and replicate the AD to new server, as well
transferring roles, there is another problem I concern.

There are many individual shared folders that need to be moved/migrated
to the Windows 2003. Is there a way to keep the file permission as well
as the shared attributes when these files is moved to the windows
Server 2003?

I plan to map a drive and copy all the files, but with this way, i will
lose all my ACL, share name, etc on Win2k03.

Thanks.

Microsoft File Server Migration Toolkit (Windows Server 2003):
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserv...ocs/msfsc.mspx

It not only migrates files and their associated permissions (both NTFS and
shared folder permissions), it also maintains UNC paths of files after they
are migrated to a new server.

But it would not move the Shares and the NTFS Permissions. Those had to be
recreated.

Hi Todd,

How does it handle it if the machines are not the same name? The name of
the machine would be part of the UNC path.

In this situation, you would delete the DNS record for the current file
server, leave the new file server with its current name, and create an Alias
(CNAME) record in DNS that points the original name to the new server's
name. Then, make a registry entry on the new server to disable
strictnamechecking so that it answers to the CNAME.
