One of the main issue propped up during server migration was Users data. Going through many documentations and articles I finally found and an easier and simple way to migrate the users data(Here I am not talking about My Documents, we are looking at home directories). Do a backup or the data and restore it with permissions using a external HDD if you can. For me one more issue came up with it was in the new server I wanted to segregate the users data ie. Students and Staff separate. So the path is going to be different than what it was in the old server. But the xcopy /o command came in very handy when you deal with moving data with in server with all permissions. Hurray I have all users data in the new server with appropriate shares and permissions enabled
Kewl doesnt it?
Anyway I am very happy with way migration took place
Have a great day ahead
