Windows 2000 local accounts

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi,

I have Windows 2000 member server in NT domain. I created several local
groups that contain domain global groups and gave permissions to local
groups on the directories. The server has some applications that do not work
as expected and I need to format and reinstall windows 2000. I don't want to
backup system state as it includes everything (registry etc). I need to
backup only the local groups (SAM) and install new windows 2000 and restore
the local groups (SAM) in order to keep the groups with their SID's as they
were before.

Is there any possibility to do that ?

Is it enough to copy winnt\system32\config\SAM and then restore ?


Thanks,

Haim
