Hello SA,

Good to hear from you.

According to your message, I understand that you want to migrate large data
from a win2k file server to a win2k3 server. What Jimmy and Herb said is
correct. At the same time, I would like to suggest you using FSMT to
achieve your goal.

FSMT helps you copy files and folders from servers running Win2000 to a
server running Win2003. The tool is designed to simplify the process of
copying data and minimize the impact of the consolidation or migration on
end users.

More details can be found in the following articles.
