How can I migrate file shares & permissions from one volume to another on the same server?

I am replacing a storage array and as part of that process, I need to move files/folders and Shares/permissions from one Volume to another volume within the same server.
The server is Windows 2003 file server.  The file transfers are not a problem, moving all 40 shares with permissions etc. is my main concern because in order to maintain everything I need to change the drive letter of the new volume to match the old
one so that links to various resources throughout the network do not break.

Hi, 
If you want to copy files/folders from one Volume to another volume within the same server, you could use the File Server Migration Tool (FSMT) or Robocopy to accomplish your goals. The tool can move all of the files from the shares on your original volume
to the new volume.
For more detailed information, you could refer to the articles below:
File Server Migration Toolkit
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2006.10.utilityspotlight.aspx
The File Server Migration Toolkit (FSMT) is a free download available at:

Robocopy
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733145.aspx
FSMT and Robocopy will not copy Share permissions but only NTFS permissions. So if the drive letter will not be changed, you can backup and restore the Share permission with steps here:

  • How can I migrate an Essbase Appl. from one machine to another?

    We uses 3 computers to cover our development cycle: one for developing, one for testing with almost real data (integration test) and a production machine.I created a new Essbase appl. and want to transfer it from one machine to another, but only using batch scripts (ESSCMD) due to company policy. I don't know where the name of the application is stored. (I thought it is essbase.sec, but I believe is not true)I transfer all the files that belongs to an appl. (the list of them I get using BEGINARCHIVE) but is not enough.Does anyone have a hint?

    If you can map a drive to each to the servers, then:1. Create an application/database on the new server with the same names as those on the old server.2. Use Windows/DOS, copy the outline (.otl), calc scripts (.csc) and load rules (.rul) to the new server.3. Export the database from the old server to a file(s) on the new server.4. Stop/start the new database/app.5. Import the data into the new server (no load rule needed).

  • How can I migrate an existing BP from one Unifier to another?

    Hi.
    I have a question about BP transfer between Unifier systems.
    I have modified "Purchase Orders" BP on my system. I can export the XML of the new BP.
    How can I transfer this BP to another Unifier system with the same name, and modify "Purchase Orders" on that one.
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards.

    Right, you can't change the name of an existing BP.  You can create a copy of an existing BP and rename that and modify it to suit your needs, and then as Sean states use the design bundling to import into the new system.  Unifier has serious controls over changes and/or deletion of existing BP's.
    Your end production system should only have the final published BP's; and only the uDesigner personnel would see the older unused BP's.

  • HT5887 Can you share pictures (or anything really that can be sent through air drop) from one device to another with the same iCloud?

         I'm trying to send photos from my laptop (Macbook Pro 13") that aren't in my iphoto, to my iPod Touch 5g via airdrop, but when i know i have the bluetooth and airdrop turned on, neither show up on either device.  They're both signed into the same icloud (and apple id).  The other solutions I thought of are emailing them... over a hundred, five 1080x1920 (or something like that) pictures per email, and then take the time to save each one, send them through iphoto (which i'm sure costs a few dollars in the app store, or send them through another internet based app (like dropbox).
         Are photos (and documents and stuff) able to send through airdrop if the two devices are logged into the same icloud? -thanks

    - AirDrop only work between iOS devices and between later Mac omputer, Not between an iOS device and a Mac computer. Do not ask why.
    - Transfer them using PhotoStream

  • TS2776 How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

    How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

    Depends on how big the file is.  If itis only a couple of pages, or mostly text, the easiest way would be to e mail it.  If it is a very large file you are going to need wifi.  Take both pads to starbucks, and e mail it from there.  Or if you have wifi, use drop box, for example. 
    Your other choice, avoiding wifi would be a bluetooth type transfer.  There is an app call bluetooth file lite that reads like it will do what you need.   The good news is it is free.  The bad news is that it has terrible ratings.  For grins, i am installing it now on a pad and a phone, and will see if it works.
    With a bluetooth method, you need both devices in  the same place.  If you are trying to send your file across country, bluetooth will not work for you.  you need e mail or drop box type solution, and if the file is big, you will almost certainly need wifi.

  • How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process?

    How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process? The source Macbook (OS 10.4.11 and iPhoto 6.0.6 (3.2.2.)) is with my husband in Germany, the target MacBook Pro (OS 10.8.5, iPhoto 11) is with me in Japan. Thanks for your help.

    I copied the iPhoto Library to a CD and from there to the new MacBook
    If you copied the library to the CD via the Finder it would be no different than the methods Terence suggested.  If you used the Share ➙ Burn menu option from inside iDVD you'll get a mini library that has to be accessed from the open library and the events/alubums copied into the destination library.  Not the same as the other methods.
    The Share ➙ Burn method is no longer supported with iPhoto 9 and later.

    lots of ways... you could use a thumb drive, you could drag files to the users public folder drop box, you could send it through email, you could use the internet servic called drop box (not to be confused with Apple's user public foldelr drop box).

    How can I move someone's hair from one photo to another and place it on another person? I have gone through every instructional video you have and have not been able to master this

    Open picture B, the one you wish to select the hair from to add to the picture.
    Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the hair. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the hair to the clipboard
    Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    Use the move tool to position the hair from picture B.
    In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and the hair (B) on a separate layer.

  • Moving Events and Projects from one location to another on the same hard drive.

    Hello.
    I've searched in the FCP X User Manual, on this forum and in Google, but have found no explanation of how to do this, so I'm posting this here in hopes that someone in our community will be able to help.
    I've previously stored my FCP X Events and Projects folders on an external 3TB hard drive, because there is more room on it than on the internal 1TB hard drive, but, since then, I've worked with other media apps, for video, photography and audio, the files for which are also stored on the external hard drive, and this has created a bit of clutter with no folder structure to keep it tidy.
    I like an organised file structure on my system, to keep it uncluttered, easy to navigate and efficient to use, so I put all the files for my photography, video and audio apps into their own folders, which are, in turn, stored in their appropriate folders for Audio, Photography and Video, and those three folders are stored in a folder called Media, and then I directed each app to its own files.
    The only app with which this has been a problem is FCP X. While there is a way of relocating projects and events from within FCP X, it allows the user to move them from one hard drive to another, and not, as I want, from one place to another on the same hard drive.
    I'm not sure if it matters, but perhaps it's relevant to mention before the next paragraph that the files that had previously been imported as events are, to save hard-drive space, stored in the events folder as shortcuts to the original files, which are stored elsewhere on the drive, rather than as duplicates of those files.
    In Finder, I copied the Events and Projects folders to their intended new locations and tried in the app to link the events and projects to their new Finder location. It seemed to have worked, until I moved the original folders to the Trash. On re-opening FCP X, it was clear that the linking hadn't worked. I returned the original folders from the Trash to their original location, but that didn't entirely reverse the problem. I noticed also that, in the original and duplicated Events folders, the shortcuts had lost their links to the original files stored elswehere on the drive.
    Fortunately I had run a backup before starting, so I restored the original folders and the app from the backup, and all was back to normal.
    I'd be grateful if anyone could advise me on whether or not it's possible to move FCP X events and projects from one place to another on the same hard drive with the app's compliance.
    Thank you.

  • Is there a way of shifting purchases from one account to another with the same billing information, so that I don't lose purchases made by my iPhone when I sync?

    The AOL address I was using for my iTunes account has been deleted due to me not signing in for awhile and I'm afraid that I will lose all of my purchases made from my iphone when I sync it into iTunes for a much needed update and so that I can (hopefully) transfer its data to my new iPhone 4...
    The only time I have synced my current iPhone was when I activated it but since then I have not been able to sync with my computer and now have a new one.
    Sorry about the garbled way this is written but I desperately need help:
    1, Is there a way of shifting purchases from one account to another with the same billing information?
    Or
    2, is there a way of recovering my old account and changing the details?
    Any other help is greatly appreciated
    Thom

    You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.
