Hi,

For file server migration, I'd like to suggest you use following tool:

Microsoft File Server Migration Toolkit

Thanks.

I began the migration, by creating the image of the existing file server,
but unfortunately it failed saying DHCP is unavailable.

I Assigned manually the IP,but it did not work.

The server does not let me make an image....!!!!!! period

I am using WINPE/GHOST as the imaging software

Can anyone outline the whole process starting from the backup to the
signoff(post-migration) in this case.

I want to do a very thorough job here

Please advise

Paul

Hi Paul,

You noticed the main point:

You have to re-direct client to access the share with a new name. I
think
you are right that a script could be a good idea. However, if you need
any
assistance at script side, I'd like to suggest you post at MSDN
newsgroup:

Thanks.

Dear Experts,

Need your advice.


Basically I have a file server.
This server has shares.. which are actually repositories for users that
scan
their documents over the network.

Now we are consolidating the domains, basically I have to do a domain
change
and rename the server to comply with the new corporate naming
conventions
at
this location.In other words the server hardware & OS(W2K advanced
sp4)
is
same but just a domain change and a rename is being done here

Can anyone outline the procedures that will have minimal impact on the
user
community(wishful thinking:).

Also do you think I need to write a vbs script to redirect the users to
the
server(as it will be different domain and server name now)

Or can I use a simple drive mapping command such as net share to be
pushed
to the clients to do the trick.


Thanks

Paul
