hey guys,

I've just installed a NAS to replace a old file server.

I have about 150GB of data to copy over all in the shared folders with hundreds of security entries.

I tried robocopy /copyall as i was under the impression that this would copy all the data and NTFS permissions, but after the copy has completed, none of the folders that where shares are showing up as shares on the NAS plus it hasn't copied any individual permissions only the domain security groups.

Any ideas why??

I really don't want to have to add all the permissions in manually as that could take weeks!!

cheers in advance :)
 
have you tried /COPY:DATSOU ? i know thats what it says copyall should do, but at least then you can be sure you specified it. BTW you will need to remake the shares on the new server afaik, everything should stand as it was before.
