In this specific case the data would stay on the server, the only thing changing would be the OS drives and the OS.<br />

So if the data stays in place but the OS is upgraded with a fresh install on new drives. How can I transfer the ACL and share info to the new OS?<br />
<br />
If I copied the ACL with robocopy could I do a ACL restore and fix all the security and permissions?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I need to upgrade a few F&amp;P 2k boxes and some are remote. We also need to upgrade the HDD. We are thinking about adding new, larger drives to the array and let it rebuild, allocate the extra space and then upgrade the OS or send new drives with the 2k3 OS installed and add it to the server, data is on separate arrays.<br />
<br />
So if we were to add new drives with fresh OS install is there a way to copy over all the security info so the ACL's for all the data is not messed up? I know we will have to reinstall the few apps on the server and migrate the printers but the biggest problem I see is all the ACL's for the data.

Upgrading from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003 questions

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

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.

Windows 2000

The Microsoft Legacy Operating System topic includes legacy versions of Microsoft operating systems prior to Windows 2000: All versions of MS-DOS and other versions developed for specific manufacturers and Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions, and Windows Mobile.
