Migrating shares like in a script? -----Original Message----- From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Angus Macdonald Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 3:37 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: migrating a file server and tracking down permissions 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. -----Original Message----- From: Sorin Srbu [mailto:sorin.srbu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 01 March 2006 14:21 To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: migrating a file server and tracking down 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. -----Original Message----- From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jonathan Jesse Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 3:07 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 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?
