Hi,

I planned to move my existing Windows 2000 file server from to a new
hardware which is running Windows 2000 Server OS as well. Any best approach
on how to perform the migration as I need to retain the existing sharing and
folder permission? Pls advice.

Thanks.

Click to expand...

Export share details from the registry path
hklm/system/currentcontrolset/services/lanmanserver/shares
to a file and import it on the new server.
Use permcopy.exe (Technical Resource Kit) to copy permissions.

You can use xcopy.exe /o to copy user files.

The game becomes a lot more comples if this a domain controller
and you need to retain the various domain details.
