Moving home shares from 32-bit to 64-bit server

[rob_d]

This is just a word of caution for anyone using the "Copy Share(s) To" function to move shares from one server to another. I tested this moving shares from a 32-bit Win2003 file server to a 64-bit Win2008 file server, and it caused the 64-bit server to lock-up. I then tested it with Hyena 8e x64, and it worked fine. So if you're migrating most of your servers to x64 it might be time to standardize on the x64 version of Hyena (or maybe both versions).

Update on the 32 to 64 bit Share migration. I;ve tested this with Windows 7 32-bit, and it works. So it must be more of an issue with Windows 2008 server and not the architecture.

Note that with Hyena 8 and the RSAT tools for Windows 7 installed, you can use the Echange System Manager for Vista app to manage Exhcnage 2003 servers. You can't with Windows 7 64-bit.
