Hi,

I'm in the middle of a migration from Win2k to Win2k3. I can migrate users
to the other domain sucessfully.

Now I need to move the files on my file server to the new domain. I have
directories for each group in my office. Each of those directories has a
folders with permissions set by the users. So it's a little messy.

I need a utility that will translate/change the permissions on each of those
directories/files from users of the source domain to the target domain.

Does anyone know of such a utilitiy? I'm going to move the data over using
the MS File Server migration toolkit can that do it?

Thanks.

One of the best reasons that UPGRADE is preferable to
migration in almost all cases.

The traditional tools is SubInAcl.exe from the resource kit.

SetAcl.exe can help too; it's free from SourceForge.net which
is a generally safe and VERY USEFUL free software source for
both Windows and Linix items, frequently cross platform tools.

SubInAcl.exe (I read and remember it as "SUBstitue INstead
Access Control List".

If you search the FSMT overview document:

....you will find references to SubInAcl.exe with download location:

Warning: SubInAcl.exe is not a particularly trivial command line
tool to use so it requires so effort and thought.
