migrating files from a W2K8r2 server to a W2K12r2 server
I am in the process of migrating data files from a W2K8r2 server to a W2K12r2 server and the problem I am having is the file permissions and shares aren't migrating with them. How can I migrate the files and keep the share/file permissions?

That answers part of it but, it doesn't copy folder security for folders that aren't shared. I need to copy the security accounts on the security tab of the individual folders even if they aren't shared.

Have you tried something before posting here? What specific issues occur?
The robocopy method by foxluv should help for the security permissions. The Share method should help, also.
Still, beware the robocopy /MIR switch, which mirrors the source to the target, i.e. existing files not at the target that are not at the source are deleted.
