I made a little app ages ago to migrate shares from one server to another as
well. That and Robocopy made the whole thing painless. Let me know if you'd
like a copy.

permissions
Just use robocopy with the /sec, and preferrably with the /MIR too, switch.
This will copy the files and folders with the original (old fileserver
sec-groups) settings.
/SEC
Copies NTFS security information. (Source and destination volumes must both
be NTFS). Equivalent to /COPY:DATS.
/MIR
Mirrors a directory tree (equivalent to running both /E and /PURGE).
If you have many files and folders, you may want to use /MIR and /CREATE
first, then defrag and then do the /SEC and /MIR. It'll pay off later with
lesser fragmentationen.
/CREATE
Creates a directory tree structure containing zero-length files only (that
is, no file data is copied).
HTH.

Subject: [windows2000] migrating a file server and tracking down permissions
We are in the process of migrating to a new file server and we have a lot of
directories that have specific permissions on it. For example the
accounting group can access certain ffolders that other groups can't, etc...
Is there a way to track down and display all of these permissions? Easiest
way, free if possible, of migrating these permission over to the new file
server?
