Re: How to migrate local users and groups to a new server?

In news:72F47D1C-3860-448C-899C-FFAC04311119@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
helpwanted <helpwanted@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> typed:
We bought a new server to replace one of our Windows 2000 servers.
After I set up the new server, created the same set of local users and
groups (as those existed on the old server), and then moved the data
drives over from the old server, everything works fine except that
all the local groups show up as some strange numbers for permission.
These numbers look like group IDs.

Any idea how I can export local users and groups from the old server
and then import into the new server?

Thanks.

Back up and restore the system state from old to new.
Further - using AD makes this entirely unneccessary!
