That is correct, from ASIP 6.3.3 to X Server 10.4.3

This is not an option, this must be done quickly and completely and I need to retain the user, groups, shares and ownerships which I believe means I must migrate in place.

Any idea what these unforeseen problems might be, or getting back to my original query, "Is there a way on the ASIP machine to list all folders by who owns them? " or "are there any other gottchas to watch out for, or links to web sites (other than those mentioned in the server docs) that deal with this migration" ?

Thanx
