Hi All,
Is there a way to copy all local user accounts on a Windows 2000 Server
Standalone? I'm planning to get a new box and I don't want to recreate all
users.
Thanks

In the NT4 reskit there was a tool called addusers but it didn't clone
users, it simply created a CSV file to create users with the same ID.
The SIDs would all be different so all Data will need to be reACLed.

See http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=249694 How to move a Windows installation to different hardware
If you end up reinstalling, you can use subinacl to reset permissions from the old server.
See tip 8530 » Corrected version of SubInAcl. in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsifaq.com
