samba - Jun 2007 - migrating samba files, preserving permissions

Hi,
Is there a way to migrate the files and shares and preserve the AD
group permissions? scp retains the modification time and such, but not
the AD group information.

Your question is too vague to give a solid answer, but, just backup and
restore with a tool (NOT ssh, tar, etc...) that supports EA.  If your
source filesystem is a Samba system then using star in exustar mode
should work.  If you are coming from a real Windows box then you
probably need to backup and restore with a Windows utility.
