Hi, I hope i'm in the right newsgroup for this:

I'm trying to migrate files, shares and security using the File Server
Migration Wizard. When I try to add the "Source file server" (windows
2000), i get "Cannot enumerate shares on server wcelem1... System Error: 5,
Access is denied".

The source server is a windows 2000 server, and the destination server is
2003. They are in seperate domains and forests, but there is an established
trust relationship between them, both ways. I have added my 2k3 domain
account to the Administrators group on the 2000 server. I can browse shares
fine using explorer and see them using net view. I tried "pushd
\\wcelem1\c$" and also get Access is denied.

I'm sure i'm missing something simple, any ideas?
 
Arthur,

I believe that enumerating the shares is done by connecting to the other
computer's registry and looking at the
HKLM\System\CCS\services\lanmanserver\shares key.

What I would suggest is to check if remote registry service is running on
the computer hosting the shares. Also if we open regeditm can we connect to
network registry of the computer hosting the shares and navigate to the above
mentioned key ?
 
Thanks, bart, i'll check that out

Thanks again! I did as you suggested, and It worked. I still don't
really understand what was wrong before, because everything you said to
check seemed to be okay. But it's migrating as I type, so I'm happy :)
