If we would copy the data with simple xcopy or robocopy using e.g. an admin account from the domain, then the files which will be created have which

Other poster mentioned rsync. That or tar can preserve permissions as they are in the original file. You can run them over SSH to transfer files to another server.

Not clear to me from your post whether you will need to run a tool on windows to move the data around. If so, there is at least the windows ssh client called putty
and a win32 port of tar http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/tar.htm
but I suppose that once you tar up the files, you can simply drag them into a share on the new server and untar them with the -p flag.

Aha. Now I see you may have some issue mapping the old windows user to the new linux user uid. You can instead force user and group by manipulating the attributes of the enclosing directory. -- see the earlier thread "[Samba] See inherit user, need inherit group"
