  • You can also use Robocopy.exe to copy data from one server to another and
     then using Permcopy.exe to migrate share permissions. Use the /SEC
     parameter in Robocopy.exe to copy NTFS permissions from the source folder
     to the destination folder. After you finish moving the data, share the
     folders on the target server (either manually or by using scripts), and
     then use Permcopy.exe to copy share permissions from the source server to
     the target server.

     Permcopy.exe and Robocopy.exe are available on the Windows Server 2003
     Deployment Kit companion CD. For more information about Permcopy.exe and
     Robocopy.exe, click Tools in Help and Support Center for Windows Server
     2003, and then click "Windows Resource Kit Tools Help."

     include or exclude source files as candidates for migrating.

     Controlling the number of times that Robocopy.exe retries an operation
