Roaming profile migration

Hello,

I need to migrate a lot of roaming user profile folders from an old server shared to a new server.  

I login to the old server as a domain admin but I do not have permission to the folders unless I take the ownership.  

What is the best way to copy the folders to the new server?

Please advise.  

Thanks.

I've not use them for a while but why not use the Microsoft File server migration tools
Robocopy is probably the best tool to use in this case.
