Updating hardware

[Laser]

We are a small company with 9 computers sharing the internet through a DSL
router. All the computers are running Windows XP-Pro SP2 and are connected
in a simple network.



One of the computers is acting as the mail and file server by having a user
account for each person on the network with assigned permissions to various
files depending on the job function of each user.



We plan to update the server computer by replacing it with a newer one. I
think it should be an easy task to transfer all the files but I was
wondering if there was a way to transfer the user information (name
passwords ect.) and permission settings.



Thanks in advance

You have to use "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard" ( Run --> Programs -->
Accessories --> System Tools --> ...)

Thanks for the information.

Will I have to transfer the settings for each user one at a time or will
this program transfer the settings for all users at the same time?

Thanks again for the help.
