Good afternoon,
I must move hundreds of Roaming Profiles folders from one file server
to another. I have not managed to find out how to do this. As you
know is each folder locked for administrator and the finaluser is an
owner of it.
You should change this via GPO so the administrators group *does* have
access -
"Add the Administrators security group to the roaming user profile share"
from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc781862.aspx
That will fix it for your *future* folders. For the existing ones, I suggest
xcacls to add the Administrators group with full control while not removing
any existing permissions -

....and if you want a nicer interface, there's a third party GUI here:

I have tried NT-Backup but can't restore in correct destination
folder (the source is server 2003 and destination server is 2008).
What is your best practice solution in a case like this?
Thanks,

Once done with the above, you could use robocopy from the W2003 resource
kit -
robocopy "<source path>"\ "<destination path>"\ /e /sec /r:1 /w:1
(that copies subfolders, and security. robocopy /??? will give you all the
parameters).
