Is there a way to export local user accounts from Windows
Not really -- even if you succeed they will be "different" user ACCOUNTS;
not the same users, just the same name.
In Computer Manager/System Tools/Local Users & Groups/Users you can
right-click EXPORT a "text" list of the data pane on the right.
This just gets names, comments, and no settings.
AddUsers (from the ResKit) works better but remember you still get
NEW accounts when you import.
Export with: AddUsers /f: userfile.txt
Import with: AddUsers /c: userfile.txt
ADDUSERS {/c|/d{:u}|/e} filename [/t][/s:x] [/?]
[\\computername|domainname] [/p:{l|c|e|d}]
/? Display this help screen.
/c Create accounts specified in the file.
/d: Write current accounts to the specified file, opt. followed by {:u}.
u Write current accounts to the specified file in Unicode text format.
/p: Set's account creation options, followed by an comb. of {lced}
l Users do not have to change passwords at next logon.
c Users cannot change passwords.
e Passwords never expire. (implies l option)
d Accounts disabled.
/e Erase user accounts specified in the file.
/s:x Sets the separator character for the input/output file. Replace the
x with the character to be used for separating fields. (e.g. /s:~)
Note: The separator character is a comma ',' by default.
/t Enables Terminal Services user properties to be created or viewed.
Use in conjunction with { /c | /d }.
