Moving a directory or volume

[Chuck]

I want to move the directories from one volume to another, including all
security and shares. Is there an easy way to do that. I am running Windows
Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.

Thanks

You want to use the Resource Kit utility -- RoboCopy

It is in the Win2003 Resource Kit tools below...

Hi

I want to move the directories from one volume to another, including
all security and shares. Is there an easy way to do that. I am running
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.

You can copy the folders and security. It won’t copy the shares though
because shares can’t even be moved from one folder to another on the
same drive.

XCopy will do the trick for copying with permissions. Just check out
the switches by typing xcopy /? at the command line.

The Active Directory Migration Tool may move shares, but I am not sure
as I haven’t used it before (I do clean installs)

Cheers,
