Migrating shares and permissions from Windows server??

[totalimpact]

I am trying to migrate several shares off a windows 2008r2 domain controller to a ZFS pool- most importantly with all permissions unchanged, does anyone have advice on this?

Any tips on:
1. getting AD on ZFS/CIFS
2. Migrating NTFS permissions on shares.

I understand NTFS permissions are not the same as CIFS, but maybe someone has a script?

I migrated a Server 2008 R2 file server to FreeNAS. I didn't migrate permission for a bunch of reasons. You will need to properly setup CIFS to use AD permissions and such.

You should be able to if you do this. You should test this with a small folder before doing large quantities of data. Do note that if you read the thread someone says it will not work for files that already exist. So you'd want to do a copy from your current server to a blank destination drive on FreeNAS. Seems pretty straight forward though. Please post back if that helps or not.

On the windows side, try robocopy... robocopy /? to see options.
I use "robocopy drive:\oldserver drive:\newserver /r:2 /w:2 /mir /copyall /secfix /log:drive:\logname /nfl /tee"

/r retry times
/w wait time between retries
/mir or /s for sub dirs
/copyall to get all security acls
/secfix to fix acls on existing files that were copied without permissions
/nfl no file list, only log the folders
/tee to see the command output in addition to piping it to the log...
