We are installing a Win2k server (domain) to replace an
existing NT4 server (domain).
Is there a utility that will bring the users over from the
NT server to the 2000 server, passwords in tact?
 
With a very broad brush, here's what I think you need to
do:
-Install a brand new NT4 BDC and SP it to 6a. This can be
on a desktop you have laying around.
-Promote it to PDC.
-Upgrade it to Windows 2000 Server. All the user names
etc, will transfer.
-Install your new 2000 server, join the domain. Active
Directory will populate the new server.
-Transfer the FSMO's to the new server, add or upgrade the
other servers you'll need, and decom the transfer server.
