Ok, got samba up, full ADS member, ACLS work and all that and are reflected properly in windows land.

The question is, how do we copy the files from the old server to the new without stripping the ACLS?

(For those who dont know, copying files off a doze box, even through windows explorer, strips the ACLS from the file to retain some outated backwards compatibility)

?

Im not sure if xcopy with work with a network path but you can map your samba server.

net use S: \\servername\servershare

This will make the share show up in my computer.

if you need a username add /USER:username or if you need a username with a domain /USER:domain\username

then use xcopy
