Last Saturday I scheduled a data migration and was going to do it using Backup Exec 8.6 by backing it up from the old machine and restoring it with NT security to the new machine. Well all of the data came over fine but none of the local group permissions did. I tried running XCOPY /E/H/K/O/X from the W2K machine and all of the data came over with the permissions but when I copied an existing user account and ran a test I was denied access to certain folders. I ran SHOWACLS /S /U on the testuser account against both systems, compared the permissions and they were exactly the same. I then tried using ROBOCOPY /MIR /SEC and got the same results, data with permissions migrated fine but was denied access to certain folders on the new machine even though I can access everything on the old machine with no problems.
Here is the environment:
Old server ? HP LH4r running NT 4 sp 6a, BDC & File server
New server ? Compaq Proliant ML 570 Running W2K SP3, File Server
Both are running in an NT4 domain. We have a W2K domain running and have been in the process of migrating user accounts over using Fastlane. The test user accounts that I tried are running in the NT4 domain.
Anyone out there understamd what I’m missing?
