Yes there is. I did this on a server for a former employer. Almost 20 GB of
data...took nearly 6 hours to copy it!
1. Use the Resource Kit's SCOPY tool to copy the files to the new server
while preserving their permissions. Documentation on the command-line options
are available in the Kit. I recommend backing up, and preparing a very large
pot of coffee, as the file copy takes a long time. :)
2. In the Registry, do the following:
- Export the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\Shares
to a .REG file. This lists out the path mappings for all your shares.
- Check the file for sanity. Delete the entries that you don't want to
import.
- Go to your target server and Merge the file with your current registry.
- Stop and start the Server service.
3. Surprise surprise, all your shares should show up!
Good luck!
