Suggestion Copying Users home directories from Win2003 to Win2012 using Robocopy.

[genesis]

Hi

 

Currently, we have Win2003 file server and the student’s home directories are located on this server.

Now I would like to Copy all the student Home directories from Win2003 to a new Win2012 server and also would like to copy the permissions and the directory time stamps.

 

The following is the Robocopy syntax that i got it over the internet. I ran this command from Win2012 server and tried copying few home directories and it copies all the folders of individual students home directories and with the relevant folder permissions.

 

Robocopy \\Win2003\StuDoc\07 \\Win2012\StuDoc\07 /s /e /copyall /dcopy:T /tee /log:c:\temp\copylog.txt

 

Please let me know if i need to add \remove any characters in the Robocopy command.

 

Any suggestions much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

I have done a similar thing over the holiday except using xcopy and not taking the timestamps across.

 

xcopy \\server1\studentarea \\server2\studentarea /O /X /E /G /K /C

 

This will copy all files and subfolders, ignore encrypted files and continue copying if it encounters an error

Thanks for the syntax and used the below syntax in my environment.

xcopy \\Win2003\StudDoc\14 \\FHS-DFS-001\StuDoc\14 /O /X /E /G /K /C

 

There are 200 home directories within the folder "14" and it has copied only 96 folder and it has stopped with an error "Insufficient memory"

Windows 2012 server has sufficient resources.

 

\\Win2003\StuDoc\14\14abarnes\Computer Studies\ICT top tips\Lesson 4 - Networking & Broadband Deals.docx

Insufficient memory

14414 File(s) copied

 

C:\>

 

Any help would be great
