Hi I want to move some shares from one 2003 server to another 2003 server!
I can sort this out with robocopy keeping all permisions and properties! but
if I export the lanman shares registry entry from the old server, to import
to the new server, it comtains some shares that do not exist on the new
server? so question is how do I edit the reg file to remove unwated shares?
Thanks
Jack

Either you press the Delete key on the corresponding registry
value, or you apply the stock-standard command
net use ShareName /del

Hi
Thanks for the reply, problem is there are about 2000 shares and about 1000
I dont want, might take some time.

Do you have a list of the ones you want or of the ones you
don't want? If you have either of them then you can perform
the cleanup action by scripting.

The simplest solution would be to run the command

net share | find /i "N:\" > c:\shares.txt

then massage c:\Shares.txt in order to turn it into a sequence
of commands such as

net share Accounting="N:\SharedData\Accounting"

so that you can run it as a batch file on the new server.
