if they are both in the same domain, you would remove share. so users cannot change files.<br />
recreated/edit login scripts if they are getting mapped drive to the share.<br />
move the files, resetup permissions manually.<br />
reshare drive. <br />
and away you go.<br />
depending on how much data you have to move... network is quickest...:) <br />

As far as copying the data. I would backup using Backup Exec and restore to new server. This should carry over security permissions but you will have to re-share the folders. If there is a lot of data you will be copying, I would go with a backup/restore method rather than manually copying but thats just me.

Hi Experts<br />
I want to retire one old file server and transfer the files to the new server. I'm planning this since it looks it's a delicate process for the organization. <br />
I need your advice with the following topics. <br />
1. How to collect all permissions in old server<br />
2. Best way to transfer the files to the new server and preserve permissions. I have Backup Exec. <br />
The files are in several locations:<br />
&nbsp;a) Local Disks<br />
&nbsp;b) USB Disk<br />
&nbsp;c) EVA Virtual Disks<br />
3. How to plan the new shares in the new box. (Best practices).<br />
4. How to compare and test the results. <br />
Thank you, <br />
