How to: CopyRight2 File-Server and Domain Migration Tutorials

This short video shows you how easy it is to install CopyRight2 onto a computer, in this case a Microsoft Windows® 2016 file server.

In this video we showcase how easy it is to migrate files, folders, NTFS permissions, file shares, share level permissions and local groups including members from one Windows® 2008 R2 to another Windows® 2012 R2 member file server in the same domain.

This video explains how to use CopyRight2 to migrate file shares, NTFS permissions, Active Directory users and groups between cluster servers configured as members in two different domains. In this example the source cluster is running Windows® 2003 R2 and the destination cluster Windows® 2012 R2.

In this video you can see how to consolidate multiple source file servers onto a single target file server. It shows how to resolve folder, share name and local group name conflicts using CopyRight2's unique name prefix/suffix solution.

This video shows how to use CopyRight2's continuous replication feature to eliminate downtime usually associated with file server migrations. It achieves this goal by using real time synchronization to keep the source and target server in-sync.

This video demonstrates how to use CopyRight2 to migrate a file server, share by share, while maintaining the UNC namespace using a DFS (Distributed File Services) server.

This video demonstrates CopyRight2's rollout planning feature intended to accelerate the rollout process of larger scale file server or NAS migration projects. It uses a template based approach to cover different system configurations. It supports Windows® 2003 up to Windows® 2019, Windows® cluster services and NAS Storage solutions such as NetApp®, Hitachi®, EMC®, TrueNAS®, ReadyNAS® and Linux Samba as source and target systems. CopyRight2 can migrate file servers within the same or across Active Directory domain boundaries.

In this video we show you how to install the optional PasswordSync Addon in order to extend CopyRight2's migration of user accounts to passwords.

In this video you can see how to migrate from a Windows® 2012 R2 file server onto a NetApp® Filer.

This video demonstrates how to use CopyRight2 to migrate from a Windows® 2008 R2 Active Directory domain controller of domain A to a Synology® NAS running as domain controller of domain B. It shows how to migrate domain users, local and global groups along with file shares, file share permissions, files, folders and NTFS permissions.

This video shows Sys-Manage CopyRight's Active Directory migration functionality. In this example a Windows® 2008 R2 Active Directory DOMAINA.COM containing users, groups, contacts, distribution lists and OUs is migrated onto a Windows® 2019 domain controller of DOMAINB.COM. Opposed to Microsoft's ADMT, CopyRight2 does not require a trust between the two domains, neither any agents that have to be installed, nor does it require a SQL server instance. As it supports sidHistory-less migrations, there is no security risk attached to it. For simplicity, in this video, the account used to run the migration has the same password in both domains (a.k.a. pass-through authentication), otherwise the GUI would prompt for authentication.

This videos explains how to migrate local group and local user accounts (including passwords) between a Windows® 2008 R2 and a Windows® 2012 R2 member server in the same domain.

This video explains how to update attributes of Active Directory objects using Sys-Manage CopyRight2. In this case the profile and home folder path is updated including the remote desktop specific attributes.

Active Directory migration from Windows to Univention Corporate Server (UCS) using CopyRight2. In this video we show how to setup a UCS Active Directory-compatible Domain Controller and then configure a CopyRight2 copy job to migrate the Active Directory objects from the source to the target domain.

Learn more about the migration of computers and local Windows® user profiles.

This video explains how to use CopyRight2's user environment migration features to migrate Windows® user profiles between servers. It covers the migration of the profiles themselves, shortcuts (LNK files), persistent network connections and application settings such as the most recently used (MRU) file list to reflect new file and folder locations after a migration.

This video demonstrates how to use a single CopyRight2 job to migrate a Windows 2008 R2 FTP server onto a Windows 2012 FTP server, migrating 10000 users including passwords.

This video demonstrates the use of CopyRight2's Azure Migration Add-on to migrate file shares including NTFS and share level permissions from an on-premise Windows© 2019 file server to an Azure storage account. It starts from scratch with an on-premise domain and a member server hosting the file shares to migrate to the cloud. Additionally it shows how to use Distributed File System (DFS) and how to convert RBAC AGLP to AGDLP groups.

This video demonstrates how to use CopyRight2 to create a bootable replica of a running Windows® server configured as domain controller on another computer including operating system, applications and any settings. It can also be used for physical to virtual (P2V) and virtual to physical (V2P) migrations.

Scanning a computer and an Active Directory collecting the data and producing file based output.

This video explains how to install Microsoft SQL Server 2016 and Reporting Services for use with CopyRight2 InfraStructure Reporting.

This video showcases scanning computers and an Active Directory dynamically producing a MS SQL Server database.

In this video you can see how to use the pre-installed Reporting Server reports to analyze data collected during computer and Active Directory scans.

This video shows how easy it is to build custom reports using CopyRight2's pre-installed Reporting Server data model.
