Re: Migrating member server from W2K to W2K3R2

Hi,

Thanks for posting here.

Microsoft provides some tools to migrate Users, groups and files between
different machines in a domain environment. However, Unfortunately, for the
migration of local users and groups, you should consider third-party tools
to achieve this.

As far as I know, there are some third party tools, such as MSVR-Migrator,
which can migrate local users and their profiles in workgroup. You may
search in Internet and contact the third party vendor to see whether these
tools can satisfy your requirement.

If you need further assistance, please post back.

Have a nice day!
