Hi, I have following problem. We have an old NT4 server in domain NTdomain and SBS2003 in SBSDomain. I need to migrate users and groups, then upgrade NT4 to server2000.The biggest problem is how to change security for shared dirs for example from NTDomain/User to SBSDomain/User on server2000.Is it possible to add server2000 to domain SBS2003 and make it DC using DCpromo?

used following:
1)migrated users/groups from nt to sbs2k3
2)resinstalled nt to server2000
3) and now need to replace sharing nt/user to sbs/user

No with SBS you are only allowed one DC. You can make the Windows 2000 box a member of the domain with needing to dcpromo it.
To have >1 DC, you need Std or Advanced/ Enterprise version of Windows 2000/2003

yes, so only 1DC is allowed with SBS2003? Thats a pitty.

So i havfe to reinstal NT4 to server 2000, make it domain member of new domain a set up all sharing according to old sharing.

Is there any tool to export sharing and rights and import it back again with new domain?
for example NTdomain/Thomas to SBSDomain/Thomas with all old rights and security rules?

You can export folder permissions to a file using CACLS command but i'm not sure you can import them though.

Another command called SUBINACL can be used to view or set share folder permissions.
