I have trolled the Internet and found many a varying procedure on how to perform the following however as they are so diverse i though i would ask the question here pertaining to my scenario in the hope of getting the correct procedure to follow.<br />
<br />
<b>Scenario</b><br />
<br />
We have a 2003 SP2 server with a directory called <b>shared_data</b>. Under that folder we have 6 shared folders. Each of these folders is shared and setup as a folder target in DFSR. <br />
<br />
So in summary its a single namespace <b>\\OurDomain.Local\DFS </b> with 6 Folder Targets with the path <b>\\Server1\Share1 &nbsp;\\Server1\Share2 </b> etc. One of these folders is replicated to another server<br />
<br />
What i want to do is retire this server and move the folder targets including data to another server. The new server will be 2008 SP2 taking into consideration the following<br />
<br />

<div class="bullet">
One of the folders is replicated to another server this replication will need to change source but destination will remain the same
</div>
<div class="bullet">
One of the folders contains user shares that are mapped as (<b>\\Domain.Local\DFS\Users\U<wbr />sername</b>)
</div>
<div class="bullet">
The other shares have permissions that restrict access to certain user groups.
</div>
<div class="bullet">
The Domain is &nbsp;2008
</div>
<br />
A step by step procedure would assist a great deal<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance<br />
