Migrating Shared Folders to Windows Server 2003 |

7/16/2008 -- 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.
