I'm moving my file server to new hardware, and I need to move the shares from the old server to the new server. I've been trying to use the registry method as follows:
- Export the HKLM/System/.../LanmanServer/Shares key
- Import it into the new server.
- Do the same with the /lanmanserver/Shares/security key.
- Reboot
The shares are listed in the registry exactly as they appear in the old server, but they do not come up in the File Manager Role tools, or via net share. I've tested this method before I upgraded the new server to SP1, and now that I've upgraded, it no longer works.
Am I missing something obvious?
