How can we migrate shared folders from our Windows Server 2000 to Windows Server 2003?

-- You can download Microsoft's File
Server Migration Toolkit (FSMT) to migrate shared folders from a server
running Windows NT 4.0/2000 to a server running Windows Server 2003 or Windows
Storage Server 2003.
FSMT also helps administrators configure new functionality in a Distributed
File System (DFS) to maintain the original UNC path of files after they've been
migrated to the new server. Microsoft's Knowledge Base article 829885
discusses this functionality but focuses on manual installation steps for creating
DFS consolidation roots.
However, if you use FSMT, there's no need to follow these manual installation
steps because FSMT will automatically create the DFS consolidation roots for
you.
