    This coming weekend I will be taking a Windows Server 2003 x32 file server and moving it to a windows server 2008 r2.

    I was thinking of using xcopy but everything ive been reading say its outdated.

    What i want to accomplish is copying all data from \\oldserver\d$ to \\newserver\d$ and keep share and security permissions.

    I was going to use the following command

    xcopy \\oldserver\d$ \\newserver\d$\ /s /e /x /c /q /h /k /i /r /Y - It worked in test with some small files but everything i read states its slow and i want to copy this overnight without having to watch it. The file size is just over 150gb.

    Any suggestions.
