We are migrating data from an old domain to a new domain. The following are highlights that we need to address:. These are the things I could think of off the top of my head. What do people think? Copy the same directory structure so we can include Dir1 in the destination location? Our current parameters are only grabbing the files and directories under Dir1 which makes keeping the data organized very difficult.

By pre-seeding files before you set up DFS Replication, add a new replication partner, or replace a server, you can speed up initial synchronization and enable cloning of the DFS Replication database in Windows Server R2. The Robocopy method is one of several pre-seeding methods; for an overview, see Step 1: pre-seed files for DFS Replication.
The utility provides extensive options that include copying security, backup API support, retry capabilities, and logging. Robocopy does not copy exclusively locked files. If users tend to lock many files for long periods on your file servers, consider using a different pre-seeding method. To minimize lock conflicts, use Robocopy during non-peak hours for your organization. Always examine the Robocopy logs after pre-seeding to ensure that you understand which files were skipped because of exclusive locks.
Because pre-seeding does not directly involve DFS Replication, you only need to meet the requirements for performing a file copy with Robocopy. You need an account that's a member of the local Administrators group on both the source and destination servers.
Install the most recent version of Robocopy on the server that you will use to copy the files—either the source server or the destination server; you will need to install the most recent version for the operating system version. For instructions, see Step 2: Stabilize files that will be replicated. Unless you are pre-seeding files from a server running Windows Server R2, you can run Robocopy on either the source or destination server.
The destination server, which typically has the more recent operating system version, gives you access to the most recent version of Robocopy. Ensure that sufficient storage space is available on the destination drive.
Do not create a folder on the path that you plan to copy to: Robocopy must create the root folder. When you decide how much space to allocate for the pre-seeded files, consider expected data growth over time and storage requirements for DFS Replication.
On the source server, optionally install Process Monitor or Process Explorer, which you can use to check for applications that are locking files. For download information, see Process Monitor and Process Explorer. Before you use Robocopy to pre-seed files, you should download and install the latest version of Robocopy.
This ensures that DFS Replication doesn't skip files because of issues within Robocopy's shipping versions. The source for the latest compatible Robocopy version depends on the version of Windows Server that is running on the server. Alternatively, you can locate and install the latest hotfix for an operating system by taking the following steps.
After you install the latest version of Robocopy on the server, you should prevent locked files from blocking copying by using the methods described in the following table. Most applications do not exclusively lock files. Before you use Where can I download version 10 of Robocopy that is included in Windows I want to update my backup scripts before I update de OS.
