It's a little app that scans the shares on a server drive and generates a
.cmd file to regenerate those shares on another server. You run the .cmd
against the new server and the shares and permissions are regenerated. I
normally use Robocopy to create the directory structure before running
Sharemig and following up with another Robocopy to move the files in.
You can download it from http://www.digiwake.co.uk/zipfiles/sharemig.zip
if you want to have a look.

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.

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?
