Scripting - File Server migration using robocopy command

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

Meanwhile I am adding  old blog articles links:

It is important to verify shared folder permissions to find any misconfiguration.

I found an interesting script that easily enumerates all shared folders and it creates a .csv file (for reporting purposes).

Here it is relative script and link:
