Jim, We just moved from a Windows 2000 fileserver to a Windows 2003 server using the Microsoft File Server Migration Utility. It worked great, and all shares and permissions were moved over. We didn't take one call the following Monday for any share problems. You need to download this utility from MS.

There are a LOT of share and folder permissions set on this server. Losing any of that information would be highly problematic. Does anyone know of a good utility that will accurately copy data, including folder and share permissions, from one Windows box to another? We downloaded a trial version of SecureCopy <BLOCKED::http://www.scriptlogic.com/eng/products/securecopy/main.asp> http://www.scriptlogic.com/eng/products/securecopy/main.asp and it works great, but the cost is ~$1,000, so we are hoping to find something cheaper that will do the job.
