Moving shares/security to new drive (SAN) "Andrew M Johnson" <andrew.johnson[ at ]drba.net> 11.07.2007 23:09:32 I recently attached a 2003 file server to a SAN for added storage. I plan to move shares that are present on a single RAID 5 logical disk across multiple SAN disks. Is there any good way to move the shares without recreating share permissions. Robocopy can migrate the NTFS permissions but I havent come across a way to migrate the share configs The FSMT only lets me migrate across servers Other than recreating all the shares, the only other option I can think of is to edit the registry directly under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver keys to point to the new drive locations

Unfortunately, there is not a way to move the folder retains shared permissions¡¡on the same computer. We must re-share the destination folder. You can use Xcopy source:\"Users Shared Folders" destination:\"Users Shared Folders" /e /o /d /h /v /c>>C:\Copyresults.txt command to copy the folder retains NTFS permissions, then re-share the folder.

Its interesting that the FSMT allows you to choose any destination so you would think its possible, but if you use the option to stop sharing source and share on the destination, it gives an error that a share already exists "Mike Luo [MSFT]" <v-miluo[ at ]online.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:xPtI1wGxHHA.4536[ at ]TK2MSFTNGHUB02.phx.gbl...
