troubleshooting Question
If I move a Drive Array to a new server will it retain user permissions?
asked on
Hello,
I have a server that I really need to decommission, however I have a 20TB array attached to it with quite a few shares with various permissions.
I'll be building a new server with the same name, and moving the Array to the new server. Since I've never actually tried this before, I'm curious if the folder/file permissions will move as well, or will I have to recreate them.
Thanks
