Whoops, you need the resource kit utils on the SOURCE server, not the
destination. I'll include them for anybody needing the util. Bill Gates
doesn't scare me.

I made a little util to do this when we consolidated all our fileservers
onto a new NAS. You run it on the source server and it generates a .cmd file
you can run to on the source to recreate the shares on the destination. It
supports changing the drive letter but doesn't (as far as I can remember)
support creating shares where the actual path is different. You need a
couple of resource kit utilities on the destination server - RMTSHARE.EXE
(to create the share) and PERMCOPY.EXE (to copy permissions from the source
server to the destination).

Let me know if you (or anybody) would like a copy.

Angus

Subject: [windows2000] Moving Files with Shares from one drive to
another.

Hi Guys,

I have installed some new drives into our file server, which has been setup
under a new drive letter.  What I want to do is move all the user shares (80
of them) from an existing drive letter (D:) to this new one (E:).  Each
folder is shared as \\FILESVR\username$ and each folder will be
E:\Users\username.  I have ROBOCOPIED all the data across. However I now
need to finish the migration by actually moving the Shares across.

Is there any way I can automate the move the share across without actually
having to recreate it, and setting the permissions for each one, I don't
really want to have to do this manually.

The only change will be the Share will point to E:\Users\username rather
than D:\Users\username. 

Thanks,

Steve
