Hi,
I've a new Windows 2000 server. On the old one, I've several user in the
Active Directory. I already know how to transfer the user accounts. But I
think that all the clients would have to sign up again on the new server.
(network identification). This mean that there will be a new account created
on the client and I've to transfer all the data and mail settings to that new
client. My question, is there a manner to transfer the active Directory so
that the computername is also transfered and the client pc don't have to
change anything?
 
Hi

Join them to the same domain then AD should replicate once its replicate just
demote the server(there are rules to follow!). Is the old server still a DC ?
are they in the same/different or parent/ child domains
