Guest Bad Beagle Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 I would like to migrate a WIndows 2003 server to new hardware and at the same time migrate it to 2008. This will be the first 2008 server in my environment. It is used as a file server. Does anyone know of any tools to use to copy the files from one server to the other and retain ntfs and share permissions as well as file ownership? Obviously the tool needs to support 2008. Thanks for any advice.
