-------------------------------------------------------I've had good luck with
the Microsoft AD user migration tools in a
similar situation; the only difference was that both servers were
onsite. If you have sufficient connectivity and access to the remote
server you can start with that. You'll need administrator access to that
server. You can also look at using the ldifde or csvdfe utilities to
export and import the user data, but that would be a more tedious
process.

-------------------------------------------------------yes that is
exacly what I want to do here is some more info:

as explained the new environment has no users setup (thats why my poist
is called migrating AD users) :-)

yes administrator at both sites

I can create whatever domain I like.. the new site is not yet setup.
The point is I want to plan a way either through migration tools or
otherwise to take the AD users and recreate them at the new site..
Exchange data migration can come after that.

well I dont think its going to be 40K budget so I think this software is
out of the question. But any other suggestions would be great
(migration tools user creation tools, AD backup and recovery tools that
will work in this situation
etc..)
