Migrate NTFS Permissions On The Go During SharePoint Migration
Copy NTFS permissions while migrating from file servers to SharePoint. You can utilize this feature to preserve the inheritance status of the migrated folders and documents in the SharePoint as same as the source file server and also assign the equivalent NTFS permission level for the SharePoint user in conjunction with the ‘Permission Mapping’ feature available in Dockit Migrator.
In most cases, Dockit Migrator will automatically map the users in the file servers with the target SharePoint users so longer the same ‘Active Directory’ is used (except some users are disabled in AD after they have created some folders and documents in the file servers). For this case, you can utilize the ‘User / Group Mapping’ feature available in Dockit Migrator to map the inactive users with the active users in target SharePoint.
"We find that Dockit is an extremely valuable tool for migrating intranet content to SharePoint Portal Server. When you are faced a large number of documents to migrate each of which has to be populated with metadata, Dockit reduces considerably the effort involved in publishing information. Typically it reduces the time a user has to spend per document by 75%, by enabling documents to be published in batch mode rather than real time through the standard SPS interface."
