Best practice for migrating Shares and Permissions?
- by TryTryAgain
We have a Windows 2008 R2 server which is replacing an old Windows Storage Server.
The datastore is attached via iSCSI so I do not need to transfer any data. The iSCSI connection is setup on the new machine, and now I'm wondering:
How should I transfer the shares and permissions?
Do I use PERMCOPY for permissions or is there something better as of Windows 2008 R2 (compared to Windows 2000):
PERMCOPY //SourceServer ShareName //DestinationServer ShareName
Is exporting/importing registry still a valid option? from:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares
Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated.
