moving data from win 2000 file server to win 2003 file serve |
|
|
we had outgrown our old file server, so we have purchased a newer one with
much more harddrive space.
the old one was running windows 2000, the new one windows 2003. I am going
to use the old one as a file server at one of our offsite plants, so they do
not have to go across a VPN to access their files.
I have a mixed domain, we have clients from windows 95, 98, 2000, and XP,
currently have 2 windows 2000 servers (file server, email) and 1 NT 4.0.
I have been looking at the Microsoft file migration wizard, but was
wondering how it would work for me, as I was reading about it looks like
most people were using this to move files from old server to new server,
and then renaming the new server to have the same name as the old server?
will I run into any curves since not all my clients can participate in
active directory?
I was thinking that the migration wizard might at least enable me to move
files over to the new server so that I would only have to re-map drives on
the windows 98 or 95 PCs, is that correct? |

Hi Gary,
Let me explain something about File Server Migration Tool.
FSMT helps the system administrator easily migrate and consolidate shared
folders from servers running Windows NT? Server 4.0 or the Windows 2000
family of servers, to a server running Windows Server 2003 or Windows
Storage Server 2003.For example, you can:
" Copy permission, auditing, and ownership information that is associated
with files and folders.
" Resolve invalid security descriptors on the target files and folders.
" Stop sharing the shared folders on the source file servers after the
copying is finalized.
" Prestage the target file server-for example, by restoring a backup of the
source file server-and then use the File Server Migration Wizard to recopy
changed files and share the target folders.
" Specify the DFS root server that hosts DFS consolidation roots that are
created by the DFS Consolidation Root Wizard. When you select this setting,
the DFS links that correspond to each copied folder are updated with the
new Universal Naming Convention (UNC) paths of the target folders.
" Specify an existing DFS namespace where you want to add DFS links for
each copied shared folder. You can select this setting even if you do not
use the DFS Consolidation Root Wizard.
For more information, please refer to
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/upgrading/nt4/tooldocs/msfst_over
view.mspx
Hope it helps.

since I dont have windows 2003 advanced, I cannot run the DFS consolidation

so what do I do without that ability?

Hi Gary,
Maybe I did explain clearly in my previous reply. DFS just a feature which
provide more powserful function. FSMT works fine when moving share folders
to Windows 2003 Standard.

Thanks.
