RE: MIgration Question

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

I understand your current concern is to make sure that all
file/folder/share permissions are going to be carried over.

Related the file's migration, we always use the FSMT tool to achieve the
goal. At the same time, the permissions are also been transferred to new
Win2k3 server. You can download it from here:
