Hi,

Thank you for posting!

According to my understanding, we can divide your requests to two different
steps:

Step 1: Copy files between servers and keep the permissions intact.
You can use the XCOPY command which is built into Windows 2000 to copy
files with permissions intact. The exact syntax is:

XCOPY <source> <destination> /O /X

The "/O" switch copies with ownership and permissions and the "/X" switch
copies audit settings.

If you wish to move an entire directory structure, your syntax would be:

XCOPY <source directory> <destination> /E /O /X

In all cases the "/X" switch is optional and only needs to used if you wish
to retain file auditing settings.

2. Move shares between servers

This can be done with an export/import of the registry keys that are
specific to the shares. In a situation where there are many users, this may
be a lot of work to sort out 100+ specific keys to export and then import
on the target server. This is fully documented in the KnowledgeBase article

I hope this answers your questions.

Have a good day!
