Migrating shares like in a script?

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.

  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.

  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?
