[windows2000] Re: Migrating accounts


Thanks for the prompt reply Charles. I really don't want the new system =
being built to be a AD domain controller, but rather I want it to be a =
stand-alone web server, which is what the NT4 system should have been =
top start with. This way, (amongst other things) and be sure that this =
web server is isolated and is that much more secure. Therefore, there =
won't be an active directory deployed on this new Win2K server.=20

I would have used the Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT), if my =
intentions were to deploy AD on this new W2K server, but I want it to be =
normal standalone server. Hence, why I am looking for a utility that =
will allow me to migrate 600 user accounts (with passwords intact) and =
groups to the new system.=20

Nonetheless, I appreciate you reply, so many thanks.

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
