Mounting a Windows 2003 NTFS drive in Windows 2008


i have windows 2003 server physical e drive has ton of files , permissions on drive.  should able install new windows 2008 server , mount drive , keep permissions , shares?

if both servers in same domain, don't see why not.  if these stand alone machines, kinda doubt it.

if both machines in same domain security identifiers same between machines (unless local machine user had permissions applied).  in stand-alone environment have no way of know security identifier belongs username, group, computer, etc.

if there way both machines running @ same time, recommend setting mapped drive , xcopy files/folders proper permission flags.  safest way transfer files , still maintain security settings.

i hope helps.
