In the past we managed 2008 to 2016 migration and so I am taking note about robocopy syntax that it was useful during this project. (focused on file servers migration)
Approach was replicating root folder on new server, enabling share (on new server), stopping old share folder and finally launching this command (from old file server) for final folder synchronization.
robocopy local_drive:\localfoldername \\remote_server\remote_share_name /E /COPYALL /SEC /MIR /ZB /W:1 /R:1 /LOG:C:\locallogfolder\SYNC_OLDSERVER_VS_NEWSERVER_DATE_TIME.LOG /TEE
/SEC it replicate security permissions
/Tee it enable video logging real time display
/SECFIX it fix security permissions
