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

    I think the term "migrated" is causing confusion. I assume you mean that the source users is now a migrated target user. However in the terms of the tool. Migrated mean the target object has been created and there is a mapping between the source and target users/group,etc...  This is normally done very early in the migration project. Once it is done, the directory sync keeps the objects up to date. So from this point, you can have two work streams, server processing and workstation processing/migration. Normally the users are migrated with their workstation. I.E They start to use their target user account when their workstation is a member of the target domain. 

    Now you only have to process the file server once.

    Thanks Jeff - Totally understand. Yes I refer as migrated, as i nthe users are provisioned and synched.  We are at the stage where desktops are being migrated to the new domain and the accounts cutover to use services within the new domain.
