moving file server to new domain

Hello,

I need to migrate a few file servers from one AD domain to a new AD domain.
We will be using a 3rd party tool to set up the user accounts and groups in
the new domain based up on the structure of the old domain.

How can I easily set up the permissions on the files, folders and shares on
the file server in the new domain once I move it over? I would prefer not to
have to manually visit each folder and share and set it up with the new
domain permissions.

Thanks.

Hello Mizzleman,

You can use robocopy /SEC to copy permissions. See here:

Re: moving file server to new domain

Meinolf,

Actually I need to set new permissions from the new domain, not the old one.
Robocopy with those switches won't help me there.

How can I set the permissions in the new domain like the old domain without
having to manually do every folder and share?

Hello Mizzleman,

Don't know how your migration software works but with ADMT from MS you can
also migrate a SID history which helps you with this.
