Youngsters these days...
If I change the DVD/CD drive letter, I change it to Y:, because long
ago, under some really old version of windows (3.1? wfwg 3.1x? I'm
getting old - get off my lawn) logon scripts used Z:.
You can find a vague reference to it here:

My typical buildout:
Anything with a user share (other than a domain controller) gets a separate
volume than the OS and the files live there. Database servers get at least two
additional (logs for one, DB for the other). Server hosting applications with a
lot of read/writes and or file growth g
I'll have to disagree here.
I love DFSR, but I don't believe that DFSR is a great fit for this
particular task.
Initial configuration, and subsequent teardown, are just not worth the effort.

Share definitions can be exported from the registry, and imported into

Don't know about everybody, but I do it - because I hate it when
someone copies a ton of big files to the driver that data shares with
the OS, and the machine chokes. Makes for a very unpleasant time for
the users.
I've also had to do this on machines with hyperactive print queues.
Now, if I'm bui
By default it only copies changed files, no /a switch needed.

Lately I've been using FreeFileSync for this sort of thing over robocopy. It
seems much faster
when you're doing the full copy/incremental approach.

Is this what everyone else does? Even on VMs?

Ditto. I usually do this over a span of days or weeks. Big initial copy, then
incrementals periodically depending on normal usage, etc. Last pass as I’m
ready to make the move. By that time we’re talking about a few minutes because
everything should be the same anyway, just the time to scan th
I’ve done robocopy /mir so that I can get big datasets overnight. As my
transition window closes I repeat it so that by the switchover date I have
a high degree of confidence that I’ve moved all of the data and don’t have
files users have deleted in the interim.

Yes, indeed. :-) I'm not a total newbie ... All data is drive E:. OS is C:,

Oh, yes
My thoughts make the assumption that this will be done while users are
not in play.
If that's not true, there are a couple of things that will need to be adjusted.
- Still consider doing a first run with the /CREATE switch.
- Can't shut down the server service, but probably still sho
I'm hoping that the data is on a separate partition from the OS.
That's pretty critical.
Some things to consider
- /S is redundant to /E - use just the /E
- /V will really slow down the copy job - I'd consider not using it,
as I've found robocopy to be very robust.
- If you shut down the server s
I always use the /mir option when doing a migration like that. The reason
is I have to do a "big" initial copy and then at least one delta copy. (I
usually do the final copy after removing access by changing share perms or
removing the share entirely so no further changes are made.) If I don't use
