    Hi Parsian02,

    To migrate these shares, we recommend the following steps:

    Identify the shared folders on the old server using net share or reviewing the red-marked items you referenced.

    Copy the folder contents to the new server using a secure method such as Robocopy, which preserves permissions:

    Code

    robocopy \\OldServer\SharePath \\NewServer\SharePath /COPYALL /SEC /MIR
    

    On the new server, recreate the shares using the same share names and permissions via net share or Server Manager.

    Update Group Policies or login scripts to point users to the new share paths.

    Test access from client machines to ensure continuity.

    Let us know if you’d like assistance with scripting the migration or validating permissions post-transfer.

    Best regards,

    Quinnie Quoc.
