I'm doing a domain migration and need to move file shares that are current
sitting on a file server off to a new file server in a new domain. I suppose
I need to move the AD user accounts from the existing domain first with the
SID history option? Do I then robocopy entire shares along with permissions
to the new server? would this retain everything with no user access issues?

thanks

Hi,

You can use this tool from Microsoft:

Or you can use Robocopy -

robocopy /mir /sec "\\source\drive$" "\\destination\drive$"

You can also add the /R:1 and /W:1 switches
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robocopy)

The switches basically waits for open files and skips them if anything. So
you can do this basically when the servers are online, once the bandwidth is
feasable and then after hours you can re-run the robocopy and it will only
copy files that didn't get copied the first time.

Or

You can use Veritas or some form of backup and backup up the files to tape
and restore them along with the permissions.
