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.

Subject: [MSUNAG] Copying Data and
Permissions Server to Server
We have
a Windows 2000 server that we are going to be replacing with a Windows 2003
server with more data storage. 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 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.
Thanks,
Jim
