Re: How do I move data from one server to the other |

You can replicate the data if this is a domain-based root. You can disable
referrals to the replica so that changes are only made on the preferred link
too.
However, if you don't have a domain-based root or simply don't want to use
replication you do it like this:
You backup the data and the shares from the registry (I'll come back to
this)
You restore the data and the shares to the alternate server.
You create a new link to the new server and delete the existing link.
To backup the shares, export the following registry key:
HKLM\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Services\ lanmanserver\ Shares
Please note that the shares will only work in this example if the data is
restored back to the same location, i.e. from D:\Data to D:\Data.
Otherwise, you will have to recreate the shares (not a massive deal unless
you have loads, in which case you can probably script it.)
