I'm migrating from WIN2KServer to WIN2K advance Server.
Wich is the best way to migrate the user and password to
the new installation ? We need format all the disk.
 
Is this a domain controller?? If it is the best way is to dcpromo the new computer
and let the AD replicate and make the new DC a global catalog server, have it point
to itself as preferred dns server, reconfigure dhcp scope for new IP address, dcpromo
old domain controller and decommission it. If it is not a domain controller you may
need to use something like addusers tool to migrate users which will not migrate
passwords however, but will leave them blank and require users to change password at
first logon. Of course you could assign users temporary password to improve
security. --- Steve

domain computers also, just test out first and have a full backup.
