I have an existing Windows 2000 domain set and running, however the install is causing many problems, and we've made the decision to upgrade the hardware and buy a new server.<br />
<br />
I'd like to build and install the new server from scratch, create a new domain in a new ip range and gradually move the clients over to the new machine, then once all the clients are logging into the new server copy all the data accross and turn off server1.<br />
<br />
To do this I'd need access to the data stored on server1 (old machine), via both machines. &nbsp;Initially I thought I could simply map a drive from server 2 to server1 and then share that mapping to the clients. &nbsp;Upon trying this I realise that you cannot share a mapped\shared drive.<br />
<br />
Whats the best way for me to go about this, the reason I chose this route is so that I can always fall back to the old server in case of any problems.

Bridging Fileshares onto another server.

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
