Good Morning,
We are in the process of changing over a file server from one server to
another. The new server will be in our new AD and we use roaming profiles. I
very much value this group's opinion and was therefore looking to see if I
am missing anything or could do the job better.
Here are the steps that I am planning to take.
* all users logged off
* copy files from ServerA to ServerB (9GB) using xcopy with the /o /x
/e switches.
* confirm copy and permissions on ServerB
* disconnect ServerA from the network
* rename ServerB to ServerA and connect to the new AD structure
* run a rmtshare script to add share permissions to the user folders.
Does this sound feasible?
In the past we have relied on scopy for most of our network copying but the
new version of xcopy seems to do the job.
Is there another file copy utility that might offer our network more?
Thanks for listening, any advice is welcome, and I guess I'm just a bit
nervous and wanted to outline the plan.
Thank you
