[windows2000] Re: Migrating accounts

Hi, Mustafa

I really don't thing so because of the AD in Win2K as well as setting up the 
SID's etc...but...you may try this:

Ghost the current server, Install it on the new one then upgrade to Win2K 
server. This could conceivably work but I have heard from others that it causes 
a lot of problems and you should clean install Win2K server and then spend the 
time setting up all the new users/groups, etc....

Anyway, good luck
