Re: Robocopy.exe does not copy network share properties

Hello jbrid,

Export this key from the registry the path hklm/system/currentcontrolset/services/lanmanserver/shares
to a file and import it on the new server. Then you can change in the registry
the drive letter.

Best regards

I am in a similar situation. I need to migrate hundreds of shares to a new
server. The old server is Windows 2000 and the new server is Windows Server
2003 SP2. In order to migrate shares and share permissions, I would like to
export / import hklm/system/currentcontrolset/services/lanmanserver/shares

Will this work - exporting the shares key from a W2K server and importing it
to a W2K3 Server?

Thank you,

JT
