Some say there are two types of IT pros in this world: Those that dread file server migrations, and those that have never done one. Migrating files and folders to new servers has long been one of IT’s least successful and most hated activities. Just getting the files copied was one problem. Getting the permissions right is yet another. Until recently the problem was the tools: There simply weren’t that many that worked effectively. In this informational webinar, you’ll learn the steps you should take to keep your migration from turning into a headache: 1.Reporting on file permissions 2.Fixing file permission issues 3.Migrating files and permissions 4.Ensuring migration success Join Greg Shields of Concentrated Technology and Jayson Gehri of ScriptLogic in this end-the-nightmare webinar and learn about the new techniques (and the tools) that make migrating files and their permissions a snap.

6. File Servers. Ugh.
 Are file servers really the bane of every IT pro’s existence?
 Eighty bazillion files and folders…

easiest-to-screw-up interfaces in all of Windows.

(Love those eighty bazillion command line arguments, don’t ya’?)

9. Nightmare, Deconstructed.
 Let’s break down the migration nightmare into manageable
steps, the tasks required for success.

10. Nightmare, Deconstructed.
 Let’s break down the migration nightmare into manageable
steps, the tasks required for success.
 Fairly simplistic, at least on paper…
 Step 1: Analyze what you’ve got.
 Step 2: Fix previous oops’s.
 Step 3: Copy stuff.
 Step 4: Re-analyze that stuff.

11. Nightmare, Deconstructed.
Part 1: Analyze what you’ve got.
 Native tool: AccessEnum!
 Get it: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897332

12. Nightmare, Deconstructed.
Part 1: Analyze what you’ve got.
 Native tool: AccessEnum!
 Challenge:
AccessEnum enums stuff, but enumming and
actually doing things are two very different things.
(You know, like “going to the DMV” and “thinking you’ll get out of there in less than six hours” different.)

18. Nightmare, Deconstructed.
Part 2: Fix previous oops’s.
 Step 1: Document your perms in iCacls.
 icacls C:SharedMarketing /inheritance:r /grant:r
"Finance Users":(OI)(CI)R /grant:r "File Admins":(OI)(CI)F
 icacls C:SharedMarketingProduct /grant:r
"Product Users":(OI)(CI)M
 icacls C:SharedMarketingRestricted /inheritance:r
/grant:r "File Admins":(OI)(CI)F /grant:r
"Restricted Users":(OI)(CI)M
 Repeat…
 Step 2: Set up this batch file as a Scheduled Task, to
repeat every evening.
 Step 3: Watch as your script “fixes” everything those
dag-nabbit help desk admins unfixed.
(Huzzah! Take that help deskers!)
