An AD question

[Ian Gibbons]

At the time of setting up AD, there was no need for win2k serv to run the
domain in mixed mode so i enabled native only. Since then ive found a nice
internet control system called Censornet, but for it to use win2k AD
accounts it require mixed mode. Is there a way I can back all the user
accounts and their SIDs
as I dont really want to have to explain to people that their profiles are
borked again
Any help appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Ian.

Short of restore, reinstall or migrate ... I'm afraid not ...

Quite interesting requirement. Can you ask the software company who does
this software, to come up with a reasonable explanation on why they need a
domain to be in mixed mode for their software to function ?
Changing back to mixed mode is a painful process which Dean pointed out.

I'll email them about it, maybe they'll have support for native win2k
domains in a later version.
Shame there's no easy way to backup users :/
