| Hello,
|
| I have an old File/Print server runing Server 2000 and it is going to be
| replaced by a new machine running Server 2003.
|
| On the old server I have some rather large shares with tens of thousands
of
| files in them. Some of these folders and files have various access
| permissions.
|
| I need to know how I can move these shares from the old machine to the new
| machine while retaining all existing permissions.
|
| I cant just copy/move them as they would inherit the permissions of the
| destination folder. That is NOT acceptable. It would be horrendous to
have
| to manually go through each file/folder and recreate the permissions.
|
| Does anyone have any ideas?
|
| Thanks and please respond to the group.
|
| Matt
