Migrating VNXe Files between AD domains?

Question

We are planning to migrate from one Active Directory Forest(2000) to new one(2008 in 2003 Forest Functional Level). Most of the job is done by using ADMT. We have bunch of file systems on VNXe with various NTFS permissions. We need to migrate permissions for DOMAIN1\User1 to DOMAIN2\User1. For Windows servers we would just use ADMT. Obviously it cannot be used for VNXe as it installs ADMT Agent on Windows. Is there nice EMC Celerra way/tool to do this or we will have to just access it by \CIFSServer\share and use some custom script?

Hey Rafael, Please use the tools EMCOPY or ROBOCOPY for data migration on VNXe.

Hey, How is the issue now?

I know this is seven years later, but this is a top Google result for the subject.   Just be aware that OP is not talking about a data migration.  No files are being copied.  What's happening is that the ACLs of files and folders are having their entries translated from objects in one domain to corresponding objects in another.   So, robocopy and emcopy are not applicable.  Some major customization of XCACLS might help.
