Thank you very much for the replies. I appreciate the advice. And no, I
won't do the copy...I may be forced to do a value-by-value compare with one
of our production servers, though...what a bummer...

BTW - The install reg key that you mention here, is essentially very similar
to the 'default user' key located under HKCU. All TS servers (even 2k) need
to be placed in 'install' mode prior to software installations. Many
application default settings are written to this location so that the
setting can be duplicated for all users when they log in after the new
software has been installed.
Personally, I think it's good to know where and what this reg key is, but I
would steer way clear of trying to copy it to another server. Especially
since, as you mention wanting to keep 'user' settings, copying this key
would not do that. Once a user logs in, all of their settings are stored in
their profile.

Not sure if anyone can help with this, but...
I've been given the task of rebuilding our older NT4 terminal servers with
MF XP FR1 onto newer, beefier machines. I know that during the several
years that the older machines have been online, that many "change user
/install" configuration changes have been made, but I don't have records of
what explicitly was changed. I know that this information is stored in the
registry at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Terminal
Server\Install\
Should I just export these keys and import them into the new machine once
all the apps are installed? I'm hesitant to do this, because under the
Machine\Software key (below the reg location given above) I'm sure there is
some hardware-dependent registry settings. For example, NT4 SP6 needs to be
in install mode to install, so I'm sure it writes stuff here.
Does anyone have an idea on how I can carry over these settings? If things
don't go quite right, I'll have several hundred users screaming about their
configs getting changed... ;-(
Any ideas welcome. Thanks in advance.
