Wow, you can do an export/import on the templates? Do you have a link for that or a quick how-to?
On the migration of settings, I've done this on a couple of servers so far with mixed results. I've been able to get the template files (the .xml files) to copy, but never the .md files as they are always in use. Tried starting a server up with the two FSRM related services disabled, and they still bark about being in use when I try to copy them out of the System volume information folder structure. I seem to remember running a bunch of tools (systinernals) to see what was holding the file open as well, but couldn't find anything. Since quota is usually some kind of filter driver (kernel level), it might not be an easy task. But, if you find a way around that, I'd love to know what works. And, when going from x86 to x64, even though I could get the xml files to copy, they just don't seem to work. When done, same server name, same installed stuff, same drive letters, etc, only difference (and it can be a big one) was from x86 to x64. Files were copied over, but settings just wouldn't show up in FSRM tools. Ended up recreating these ones. Anyway, when I can get the .xml files across and the drive letters are the same, it gives me the templates, but not the quotas. I've not tried it at all when changing drive letters or server names. We've been keeping spreadsheets of anything that is a quota "exception" and they've had to be re-entered as part of any migration that was not an image based backup/restore. I don't want to complain too much as FSRM is a HUGE improvement over the earlier quota tool, but I would love to see MS do a little more work on it. A migration tool or method of some kind for this sort of thing would be really helpful. -Bonnie From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 11:50 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: FSRM restore or export/import? W2K3 SP2 R2 I'm planning on migrating a file server into a cluster. It currently has FSRM. I know you can export/import the templates, but what about the quotas themselves? I can't find anything that talks about restoring the existing configuration to a different server. I did find references to the \System Volume Information\SRM\quota.md and quota.xml files. But I'm not sure restoring those to each volume would work. At least nothing I found explicitly states that. Anyone successfully do this before?
