I am attempting to migrate from a Win2K web server machine (Server A)
to another Win2K box (Server B). Server A will not be de-commissioned
and will still be used as a MySQL database. What would be the best way
to migrate the Windows users/groups while preserving all of the
permissions from Server A to Server B?

What I've tried so far...

I used addusers to back up the user accounts from Server A to a text
file, then simply replaced all references to Server A with "Server B"
and restored these users on to Server B.

I then used robocopy to transfer the website directories to Server B
using the "/mir" and "/sec" options, but it seems that because the new
box has a different name from the old machine, some of the NTFS
permissions do not transfer over correctly.

I was planning on using IIS Export to transfer the IIS permissions
after the website directories were moved to Server B.

Can someone give me some pointers on how to successfully transfer the
NTFS permissions from two differently named machines? Or is there a
better way to complete the described task?

Thank you for any help.

Hi David,

Thanks for your posting here.

You can try the fileacl.exe tool. This tool will help system administrators
change NTFS permissions. It will also help you change the owner of NTFS
files/folders, force inheritence (Windows 2000), view ACLs, export/import
ACLs to/from files and more...

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=723f64ea-34f0-4e6d-9a72-004d35de4e64&DisplayLang=en

More information about this tool, please refer to the following web site.

http://membres.lycos.fr/jfb/gb/gbtools/fileacl.htm

Wish it helps!

Does anyone have any experience using this tool? The documentation on
this tool's website is rather poor and it would seem manually setting
each folder permission would not require that much more work.

Or does anyone have any other ideas to migrate NTFS permissions?
Thanks.

Hi David,

In addition, you can also try SUBINACL.exe. This tool allows you to
manually modify ACL options. This tool is included in Windows 2000 Resource
Kit.

To download SubInACL.exe, please see SubInACL (SubInACL.exe) at the
Microsoft Web site.

(http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=23418)

You may test like this:

1. Create a test folder/files at c:\, modify permission settings via UI for
a file.

2. Use "subinacl /noverbose /subdirectories c:\test\ > batch.txt" to export
permissions into batch.txt.

3. Find the filename in batch.txt and copy the permission section for this
file as a template.

4. Manually create a TXT file test.txt using batch.txt format to include
destination filename, and use template for destination file permission
settings.

5. Use "subinacl /playfile test.txt" to apply to security settings to
destination file.

You may test more when you get this tool.

Hope it helps.

Thanks & Regards,
Bob Qin
