bringing a domain into the fold

We have two offices, OfficeA and OfficeB

OfficeA is the HQ with loads of users and numerous servers. OfficeB is a
remote office with about 4 staff. Each has its own AD domain setup due to
each being previously looked after by different IT firms.

Now that each is linked via a VPN and can communicate with each other, I
would like to redo the AD installation on the server in OfficeB so that it
becomes a sub-domain of the domain in OfficeA.

Now, as the network only has four or so staff, i dont mind setting them all
up again on the other network, but I would like to try importing them as we
may have a similar, and larger job like this in the future.

Is there some way that i can import the users etc from OfficeB into the AD
of OfficeA, or should I just use CSVDE or similar ?

You can use numerous ways to import/export accounts in AD. Here are a few of
them:

-Addusers from the Resource Kit (passwords will not be retaind)
-CSVDE
-LDIFDE
-VBScripting
-SimpleSync from www.cps-systems.com (for synchronization)
