I'm migrating a 2012 Server to Server 2022. Using the 2012R2 to 2019 Migration Guide; Section 9, Step 9 states to recreate the shares and permissions by importing the shares.reg file. I noticed that the guide didn't distinguish between waiting for robocopy to finish or not. Is it safe to ahead and merge the shares.reg while robocopy is still copying files from the old server to the new? Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
Well, you can import the registry file during the time robocopy runs but the shares will not show up immediately. You need to restart Lanmanserver for the shares to show up but that will interrupt robocopy
