File Server Migration Tool share name overlapping issue


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

We have a mix of NT4/2003 File Servers that need to be migrated/consolidated

to a single 2003 file server in an NT4 domain environment.

 

The issue we've noticed is that because our current file servers all have

\\servername\profiles$ share and thus, the sharename profiles$ overlap with

one another so FSMT complains about it during the copy phase.

 

ex) \\server1\profiles$, \\server2\profiles$, and \\server3\profiles$, when

trying to copy the data using FSMT to the to-be new 2003 file server:

to target share: e\profiles$

target location: e\profiles

it errors out due to the overlap in share name.

 

Is there a work around for this? We don't intend to use DFS.

I'd guess we can change the target share/location for each source server but

they ultimately all need to go to the e\profiles folder.
