Because you are copying files from one server to another with different
SAM's, the account unknown's are accounts from the old server's SAM.
If the target and source servers are both domain controllers in the same
domain, then scopy works fine, because domain controllers are sharing the
same sam information.
That's the reason I always tend to build file servers as domain
controllers - it makes migrating data between them a piece of cake.
Another tool you could try is hyena, which is a brilliant tool for NT admin
tasks. - see http://www.systemtools.com/hyena/
