hi, planning migrate data , file share a 2003 server use file server to 2008r2.

is possible set dfs replication and replicate them 2003 server new 2008r2 server? not sure if it's possible between these editions.

and if dfs replication not available, second best going "xcopy" and "permcopy" comand copy data , file share?

i checked several threads not quite sure of answer.

any tips helpful.

environment: single domain, osver. windows server 2003 sp1

hi,

1. dfsr between windows 2003 sp1 , windows 2008 r2 not supported.

2. permcopy not work on windows 2008 r2. export registry key:

system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\shares

and import target server if paths of shares not changed -- if paths changed, need midify registry key before import.

3. fsmt not option , dfsr not available, robocopy method migrate data.
