    I am trying to move file server data from our current W2K mixed-mode
    environment to a completely new forest/domain running Windows 2003. I
    have setup domain trusts and tried using the latest version of the
    Microsoft File Server Migration Toolkit to copy the data. Although the
    data copies successfully, the permissions don't seem to carry over.
    When I look at the security of some folders after the copy, the only
    permissions it has are the Administrator. Before I ran the copy, I
    manually created new AD accounts in the new environment that matched
    the names of the accounts in the old environment. Is there some way I
    can do this cross-forest copy and still maintain my permissions even
    though the users on the target server are members of a different domain?
