greetings all

I installed a new SBS on my network (the previous one
crashed) But I trying to avoid having to recreate all the
users. can anyone help me in transfering the old users
onto the new server.

thanks in advance

Cash,

You have two options:

1. Use a system state backup to do a systems state restore of the original
domain controller onto the new domain controller to recover the entire
domain and all of its objects. If the hardware is very different between
the two servers, this will probably not work. You best bet would be to do a
system state restore on the original problem domain controller if that is
possible. Of course, if you do not have a system state backup, this is not
a viable option for you.

2. Manually recreate each user and move all of the computers out of the old
domain into this new domain.

I hope this helps.
