SUMMARYIf you need to: - reinstall Windows NT over an existing installation (a clean install, not an upgrade)- move all of your data drives from one server to another - install Windows NT to another directory or drive on a computer that already has Windows NT installedyou can save the share names that exist on the original Windows NT installation, including any permissions assigned to those shares.
MORE INFORMATIONWARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk. To save only the existing share names and their permissions on Windows NT follow these steps: NOTE: This procedure applies only to NetBIOS shares and not Macintosh volumes.
In Windows NT 3.5, if you choose "Stop Sharing" in file manager, the restored shares will still show up, but they are grayed out. 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 directories and files are not affected when you save and restore the shares key.
