Question about SAMBA fileshares

I currently have a Ubuntu 10.04 server joined to my Windows 2003 AD domain. I have it working perfectly (by this i mean that im able to logon with any AD user).

My SAMBA server is meant to replace out current windows fileserver and I'd like to copy over all the files while keeping my ACL from the windows machines.

Is this possible and ifso how?

scopy.exe is your friend. It's part of the Reskit.

As long as the user SID will be common in your scenario - i.e. you are merely moving files that are part of the same trust realm (single domain) and no separate domains/workgroup SMB hosts are involved.

I am currently working in a single domain environment. Is there a similar tool for linux?

I would initiate the copy from the Windows side using robocopy. That should retain all ACLs for the data.

I tried robocopy but its not working 100% as it is copying the ACL's but not the timestams ie create and modify dates.

robocopy \\man_fs2\Batteries \\bed-fs1\servers\man_fs2\Batteries /sec /e

Any errors from robocopy?

I reviewed the logs and got no errors.
I just need to get the ACL's and time stamps copied correctly

Can you copy some files using Explorer and see if the ACLs/timestamps carry over? Also post the smb.conf and the output of "smbd --version" from the Samba server.
