I forgot to mention that the existing servers are standalone, and not =
part of a NT domain. If they were part of a domain, I could just set up =
a server in the new location as a BDC, then promote it to PDC later.
Any ideas on the best way to do this?
Thanks,
Gary

Subject: [NTISP] Migrating Users
Hello,
Does anyone know of a utility program that can export/import users AND =
the current passwords from one NT4 server to another?
I'm going to be moving my entire web hosting operation to a different =
location within the next few months. I will also be setting up new =
servers. I am looking for something that I can use to export the user =
id's (and passwords) from the existing servers, then import them to the =
new servers, without needing to manually configure every =
username/password.
I can use a disk image program (like Norton Ghost) to make an exact =
duplicate of the user directories and existing permissions, but if the =
usernames don't exist on the new systems, it won't work.
I have about 1000 users total, and I will not have physical access to =
both systems (they're about 1000 miles apart) so I need a solution that =
can be done remotely with pcAnywhere.
I've migrated users to different systems with the NT resource kit =
utility "addusers" before, but it doesn't preserve the existing =
password. Is there anything available that will do what I need?
Thanks,
Gary Kliethermes
