+====== Migrate Windows Fileserver using Robocopy ======
+Migrate [[:wiki:windows:server:fileserver|Windows Fileserver]] using [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/|Robocopy]]
+  * In your new server.
+  - Go to your C:\
+  - Make a folder called "RoboCopy"
+  - Inside "RoboCopy" make a new folder called "Logs"
+  - Inside "RoboCopy" mae a new folder called "Old Logs"
+  * As filename I usually use the folder / drive I'm migrating.
+  - Insert the following code into the *.ps1
+<code>
+$source = <\\OLDSERVER\d$\FOLDER>
+$destination = <D:\FOLDER>
+robocopy $source $destination /e /zb /copy:DATSOU /r:3 /w:3 /log:c:\RoboCopy\Logs\<FOLDER>.log /V /NP
+</code>
+**What are those switches doing?**
+  * **/E**  Copy subdirectories recursively, (including empty ones.)
+  * **/ZB**  Use ‘restartable’ mode, and if this fails use ‘backup’ mode.
+  * **/copy:DATSOU** Copy **D**ata, **A**ttributes, **T**ime Stamps, **S**ecurity, **O**wner, a**U**diting information
+  * **/R:3**  Retry three times, if you don’t specify this, it will retry **one million times!**
+  * **/W:3**  Wait time between the retries above.
+  * **/log**  Will output the log to the folder we created above.
+  * **/V**  Produce output in verbose (detailed) mode.
+  * **/NP**  Do not show percentage progress
+  - After the first run, run the following code to mirror just changes from the old to the new server, usually doing off-work hours.
+<code>
+robocopy $source $destination /e /zb /copy:DATSOU /MIR /r:3 /w:3 /log:c:\RoboCopy\Logs\<FOLDER>.log /V /NP
+</code>
+  - Afterwords, don't forget to re-share the folder / drive, and change the source on the DFS.
