RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Software for copying files with permissions
This looks like what I'm looking for. We are not interested in using the DFS option, everything will be going on one server I can buy something 3rd party, as well, if anyone has any suggestions for something that might work better than this. In the past I have found that the free MS tools are cryptic with their directions and not real easy to use. Ah wait, I see your PS. I may check this out as well. Thanks for everyone's help! Sharyn, you might be interested in a more complete tool from Microsoft that is free and was designed with your task in mind: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=d00e3eae-930a-42b0- b595-66f462f5d87b http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=d00e3eae-930a-42b0 -b595-66f462f5d87bDisplayLang=en DisplayLang=en It's called the File Server Migration Toolkit, and it takes care of creating the shares, setting permissions and even removing the original shares. There is an emphasis on using DFS, but that is completely optional. Here's a snippet from the online help: Using the File Server Migration Wizard The File Server Migration Wizard is a graphical user interface (GUI) tool for copying files and folders from a source file server 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. mk:@msitstore:c:\program%20files\microsoft%20file%20server%20migration%20to olkit\fsmigrate.chm::/important.gif Important * For information about security and server cluster considerations, see ms-its:fsmigrate.chm::/fsct_file_wizard_security.htm Security considerations and ms-its:fsmigrate.chm::/fsct_file_wizard_cluster.htm Server cluster considerations. The File Server Migration Wizard provides a number of options for copying data. 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 wizard to recopy changed files and share the target folders. (To do this, follow the procedure described in the Target Location link in ms-its:fsmigrate.chm::/fsct_file_Wizard_1a.htm Select servers, shared folders, and settings.) * Specify the DFS root server that hosts consolidation roots that are created by the DFS Consolidation Root Wizard. When you select this setting, the 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. Note that how you get your users to map these shares and how to switch the server is still up to you, e.g. with login scripts or changing the share for their home drive in your Active Directory (or NT4 Domain Controller). Andrew. p.s. In the last migration I did, I was fortunate to use a product from NetIQ.com called Server Consolidator, part of their NetIQ Migration Suite, and that did the same functionality as the Microsoft FSMT and it was both simple and accurate. I've no idea what it cost. --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list. To unsubscribe, just send an E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and type unsubscribe Declude.JunkMail.

If you want to move an entire image to a new machine then I would use Acronis software to image the old server You do need to make sure that the drivers for your boot drive are the same for both machines. If you find that the new machine needs a different driver then you could take a SCSI controller and hard drive and image the old machine to the SCSI drive (after you activate the SCSI drive and driver on the machine) You then move the scsi card and drive to the new machine where it can boot since you installed the scsi driver on the old machine before you imaged it. Once booted with the scsi drive you can now load all the new drivewr5s needed including the driver for the new hard drive sub system. Once that is done you can move the image from the scsi drive to the hard drive in the new computer. Harry Vanderzand Intown Internet 11 Belmont Ave. W.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Software for copying files with permissions
Reasons I love vmware esx :-) Out of disk space? No problem, just make It bigger. Out of Memory? Just add more... Can't find the memory? Just move the virtual server to a newer box. Cpu speed slow? Just build a new better faster esx server, (which takes litterly 30mins to install) and move the virtaul machine (without shutting it down).

Done this a several times over the years and it's relatively painless.
