Moving Shared Documents


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a w2k3 file server, a member server, contains mostly our shared

documents with a lot of shares. The space is running out and my only option

to create a bigger drive and move all of them to the new drive and then

change the drive letter. Is there an easy way of recreating the shares and

permissions.

 

Thanks

You can use robocopy to copy the data with permissions. This how to may

help.

Thanks Robert.

 

I have been using robocopy a lot. I know it can copy the security

permissions too but then again the shares will have to be recreated if this

is the only option.

 

Any others?

 

Thanks
