Process Permissions on FIle Servers

Hi All

I have not been involved in a migration for the past 3 years.  Now we are migrating between forests for users/groups, workstations and email. Which is all good.

We have a question around the File Server Migration process and whether it can be streamlined?  I am looking to find out

1. Can we run an initial Vmover command and start to process permissions. Even if all users and groups are not migrated? And then run a delta to permission new folders and also add missing users and groups?

2. On data this is dedupe'd - Does this have any effect when running VMover?

Thanks

    Thanks for the replies.  So more stats around the file servers - in prep for the Vmover taks.  Is there any loose formula or ball park figure that can be used to say, re-permission around 100,000 files?

     I guess that there are many factors, but a ball park figure would be ideal.

    Is it all on the item count or does file sizes become a factor?

    Thanks

    For that many files you can open up multiple command line boxes and run vmover against individual shares/volumes to help speed things up.
