I am doing a migration of a WSS Site from one server to
another (two physical servers).

I used the smigrate to backup to the .fwp file, worked
fine. When I did a restore the users that were part of
the original site were no on the new server/site, the
content restored fine.

The users were not local but part of a domain.
Also I used smigrate to successfully migrate other site,
these were how STS sites not WSS sites.

Any suggestion? Thanks in advance...

When you back and restore sites the permissions are lost. That's just the
breaks.

I'm no WSS expert, but as far as I know, there is no way to back up a WSS
site and maintain the permissions.

I've not done it but I'm fairly sure that earlier messages have said you
don't lose permissions if you use stsadm but also that there were other
negatives with using that.

Otherwise as you rightly say, losing permissions is a known "feature" of
smigrate.

Thanks all. Interesting that the WSS to WSS migration
breaks the permissions, but the STS to WSS didn't. Old
works better than new.....in some ways...ironic, when you
are trying to get rid of it.

I will check on the stsadmin use. Thanks again.
