SUMMARY
If you need to complete
any of the following procedures, you can save the share names that exist on the
original Microsoft Windows installation, including any permissions assigned to
those shares:
·
Reinstall Windows over
an existing installation (a clean install, not an upgrade).
·
Move all of your data
drives from one server to another.
·
Install Windows to
another folder or drive on a computer that already has Windows installed.
MORE INFORMATION
To save only the
existing share names and their permissions on Windows follow these steps.
Note This procedure applies only to NetBIOS shares and not to Macintosh volumes.

10. Restart the server.
Note After you complete this procedure, if you decide that you
should not have restored the Shares key, restart the computer and press the
SPACEBAR to use the last known good configuration. After you restore the shares
key, the shares can be used by network clients. If you run the net
shares command on the server, the server displays the shares; however,
File Manager does not display the shares. To make File Manager aware of the
newly restored shares, create any new share on the server. File Manager
displays all of the other shares after you restart the server or stop and
restart the Server service.
In Windows NT 3.5, if you click Stop Sharing in File Manager, the restored shares are still displayed, but they are dimmed.
Only permissions for domain users are restored. If a local user was created in the previous Windows NT installation, that local user's unique security identifier (SID) is lost. NTFS permissions on folders and files are not affected when you save and restore the shares key.
