migration from NT to 2k3 server
Is that true. I think it is bull shit. Can someone advise.
And I plan to use ROBOCOPY to copy all the data across. Is there any better idea that will also copy the open files and permissions.

Re: migration from NT to 2k3 server
I don't know how you expect us to tell you if this is the case.
I believe NTFS shipped with NT3.51 or higher supported this option. A brief discussion of this is here:

If the files are currently compressed, they would of course be decompressed when moved across the network. You do have every option to move them into a compressed file system on your new server aswell.

Re: migration from NT to 2k3 server
I think formally it is true, but it is doesn't matter. You will not feel any time differencies in copy operation.
Robocopy or xcopy will good, but I usually use backup to tape/restore from tape in such cases - typically it's take less time with tape backup and you avoid any unexpected read/write errors in the middle of copy operation.
You can check Microsoft File Server Migration Toolkit as well (I don't have any experience with this tool)

Re: migration from NT to 2k3 server
So if copied onto the network it is definitively first decompressed before copying.
see : http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307987
this is for XP, but ther'se no different behaviour in other NT(fs)-based OS'es
