Have you done this already (started already)? <br />
<br />
Why not upgrade the existing domain? &nbsp;Migrating the domain will mean a lot of extra work<br />
<br />
Sounds like you already started because you mention you copied the file data. &nbsp;Did you use the ADMT migration tool? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Old file permissions will not copy to a new domain because the account SIDs will be different. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
You can try to export file ACLs from the old server with the icalcs tool. &nbsp;then you can import/apply the ACLs to the new file server files with that icacls command. &nbsp;The SIDs are differrent so you should try the &nbsp;/substitute option for the SID issue. &nbsp;It may work and it may be a lot of work too though.<br />
I haven't tried it for your situation though, so I can say if it will work or not.<br />
<br />

<div>
In this case you should use first ADMT to migrate users/group/computers and servers accounts from the old domain to the new one.<br />
ADMT is free and can be downloaded from'<br />

<br />
and of course, it requires two-way trust to be able to migrate accounts. Then SID History is set up and SID from objects from the old domain are saved in that object's list in the new one.<br />
<br />
After that, users will not loose access to data resource.<br />
<br />
Another tool at the end of that process to copy data is Robocopy<br />

<div>
I guess migration term is used wrongly becasue as far as i know, you can't setup trust between the domains sharing either same netbios name, SID of the domain or FQDN name. Quest allows to migrate object from one domain to another w/o trust but it doesn't migrate SID histroy where as ADMT's min one of the prerequisites are one way trust. You might have upgraded the infrastructure to windows 2008. <br />
<br />
You can use <b>Robocopy tool</b> or in-built tool <b>File server migration tool</b> in windows 2008 to migrate file with NTFS permission intact or Xcopy.<br />

@Awinish<br />
<br />
We can't have trust relationship.<br />
I did use robocopy to copy the data, but wouldn't copy the permissions.<br />
<br />
@chakko<br />
<br />
Its the client decision to rebuild from scratch.<br />
Can you tell what the icacls command to to import and export permissions.

Didn't test it so don't know whether its going to work

One of our client is planing to migrate from 2000 domain to 2008 domain.The domain name is same in the new infrastructure and the old infrastructure.Their is no trust between the old and new domain.All the groups and users would be same in both the domain.<br />
I have moved all the data from the old file server to the new file server.How can I copy the folder permissions from the old Infrastructure to the new infrastructure

File server migration

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Windows Server 2008

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

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).
