Eric, I tried this and almost got it working! All my folders on the
new system have their shares back.
Unfortunately, instead of seeing user names under each share, I see
ACCOUNT UNKNOWN. I used ADDUSERS to copy the userids from the old to
the new server. But it looks like now the share don't recognize the
users from the old system. Have you had this problem before? I guess
the ADDUSERs program is not the right program to transfer users to the
new system...
