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.
