Hi!

I'm going to replace some member servers with new hardware, moving all data
to the new server. The problem is, that all member servers have some local
groups which are assigned NTFS rights on the disks.

Now, I will copy the data to the new servers using robocopy, but this won't
do much good unless I also find a way to migrate the local groups to the new
servers.

So, is there any way to copy/migrate local groups from a member (or stand
alone) server to an other server?

Thanks...

Sorry, forgot...
The old servers are W2k/W2k3, new servers will be W2k3 with SP1 or SP2.

Hello,

you would prefer clean up this before.
You can scan right folders with dsacls:
How to Use Dsacls.exe in Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000

then you would migrate with robocopy or something else.
You shouldn't stay with this rights
