How to copy users accounts from win2k standalone server

[E. Ortega]

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.

If you end up reinstalling, you can use subinacl to reset permissions from the old server.
