Move Server 2008 File Server to Server 2012
Windows Server 2008 R2 name is FileServer1 which only has File Services role.
FileServer1 is installed on DELL Poweredge R710, not Virtual.
FileServer1 provides file share services to domain users to access files in the FileServer1 E and F disks.
Users access shared folder and files under \\FileServer1\SharedFolder
Because I failed to upgrade FileServer1 to Windows 2012, so I installed Server 2012 on another R710, name it as FileServer2. FileServer2 has E and F disk2 with same disk size.
I export shares from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
I made a disk copy of FileServer1 E and F disks.
I install two disk copy into FileServer2 then import Shares into register file
user can access and read files from \\FileServer2\SharedFolder
But when user create file, got error message: Destination Folder Access Denied. You need permission to perform this action.
I made test to change file properties of owner and user permission for specific user, still got same error.
I backup shared files NTFS permission from Fileserver1 via ICACLS, and restore to FileServer2. Nothing changed.
Very appreciate to any advice.

Start by looking at the share permissions and then look at the NTFS permissions. Just because you backed up and think you restored doesn't mean it worked!

The default share settings on 2012 R2 are read only. Even though you have recreated the shares, it sounds like the default share (not NTFS) permissions have been applied.
Look at the advanced sharing properties of the shares and set the required user groups (or everyone) to full control. NTFS permissions then control what users can actually do.

Hi Andyalder,
You are right. The disk is part of RAID1 in FileServer1, I moved it to new FileServer2.

The issue is gone. Don't know the reason, this morning I did a test, on Fileserver2 E disk, create a shared folder and some subfolder under it, then test create file and folder, it works. Before I move old share folder into it, I test file creation on the old share folder again, not expecting it works, but it works, on all the shared folders on E and F driver, problem is gone. Test from different computers, confirmed all works. Weird.

I finally solved the issue by using the backup software to synchronize folder/file with access permission to file server2.
I used Allsync to synchronize.
