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

Hi Kevin,

You can try robocopy.exe tool with the "/SEC" switch to copy the folders
with their NTFS permissions instead of using FSMT. For more information
about how to use robocopy.exe, please type the "robocopy /?" command. You
can download the robocopy.exe from the following web site.

As for share permissions, we can backup and restore them by saving and
restoring the following registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\Shares]

Reference:

In addition, you can also try a third-party tool Secure Copy to migrate the
folders with NTFS and share permissions:

http://www.scriptlogic.com/eng/products/securecopy/main.asp

Secure Copy will create the share on the destination server and copy the
permissions to the share.

Note: We provide the information about the above tool for your reference.
Please understand that Microsoft cannot guarantee the security and
performance of third-party products; please read the related documents
carefully before using the tool.

Hope it helps.
