File server migration from Server 2000 cluster to server 2003 clus Novice ISA user 11/28/2008 5:16:06 PM I need some advice on how to best migrate a server 2000 cluster file server to a server 2003 cluster file server. I have already set up the file server on the cluster I just need help copying the files over and maintaining the original permissions. I did not set up DFS and I dont know if I can use the File Server Migration Tool. I am migrating from one MS 2000 Cluster to one MS 2003 cluster. Is Robo Copy the best way to go? Can I use FSMT? Thanks
