Re: W2K Server to W2K3 Server migration - looking for advice

Thanks Ada,

I do have one question that just occurred to me....Using FSMT to transfer my
files and shares without using DFS root consolidation will effectively do
this:

\\Server2\Share will become \\Server3\Share

with all of the same permissions. However will there be any issues when I
rename the server back to that of the original server? I guess basically I'm
wondering if renaming a server affetcs the shares or permissions. Should I
perhaps adjust the order of my plan to move step 2 (FSMT migration of shares
etc.) to come after the renaming is done (3 & 4)? Or would it make any
difference?

Any thoughts?
