Hello,

If two machines are in the same domain, you can serveral methods to acheive
this goal.

Method 1: FSMT
===============

The File Server Migration Toolkit helps you copy files and folders from
servers running Microsoft? Windows? 2000 Server or Microsoft? Windows NT?
Server 4.0 operating systems to a server running Microsoft? Windows Server?
2003 operating systems or Microsoft? Windows? Storage Server 2003. Whether
you plan to consolidate multiple file servers or migrate data from one file
server to another, the File Server Migration Toolkit is designed to
simplify the process of copying data and minimize the impact of the
consolidation or migration on end users.

The File Server Migration Wizard is a graphical user interface (GUI) tool
for copying files, folders, and their security settings from one or more
source file servers to a target file server. The wizard walks you step by
step through the copy process, which includes creating a migration project
where project-specific settings are stored, monitoring the progress of the
file copying, and viewing a final report of the copying results. You can
start and stop a migration project at any time, and settings are maintained
for that project the next time you start the wizard.

Method 2: Robocopy
===================

We can migrate the shares' NTFS permissions and share permissions
separately. For NTFS permissions, we can use the Windows 2000 Resource Kit
tool robocopy.exe with the "/SEC" switch to copy the folders with their
NTFS permissions. For share permissions, we can backup and restore them by
saving and restoring the following registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\Shares]

Commonly-Used Steps:

1. Copy all the data from the old file server to target file server.

Note: Please ensure that both the target file server and the source file
server have the same folder scheme (the shares' folder paths on the target
file server are the same as the ones on the source file server). This is
necessary for us to migrate the share information.

If both the source and destination directories reside on NTFS volumes, we
can use Robocopy with the /SEC switch to copy NTFS permissions when copying
files to the same location on the target file server. This will ensure that
both the folder structures and their NTFS permissions are fully copied the
target file server.

Note: To refresh security information for existing destination files and
directories without copying file data, we can use the /SECFIX switch.
/SECFIX copies permissions for newly copied files and refreshes security
information for existing destination files and directories.

2. Copy the share permissions from the source file server

Actually, the share definitions are saved in the following registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\Shares]

Therefore, our steps in this section are:

2.1) Back up the above key on the target file server (for recovery
purposes).

2.2) Back up the key on the source file server in to a reg file.

2.3) Merge the reg file to the target file server.

3. Check if all of the share permissions have been successfully migrated to
the new file server. If not, we can try Permcopy.exe to copy share
permissions (Full Control, Read, and Change) from one existing share to
another.

permcopy \\SourceComputer SourceShare \\TargetComputer TargetShare
