Third party utilities for migrating from W2K

[Guest]

I am looking to upgrade 100 pc's from W2K to XPSP2. I want to run a utility
to capture users settings and profiles from the existing W2K machines. Then
I would perfer to wipe the existing drive and install a clean image of XPSP2.
Then migrate users setting back over to new image.

Looking for some utilities that may assist in this process. Any input would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

It works on Windows 2000. Just have to have the Windows XP CD to use it..

Individually, yes FAST does run. But I think the OP has a larger scale,
automated process in mind.
