Export and Import of local user and group accounts |
|
|
I need to export all local user and group accounts to a
file and reimport it on another Windows 2003 Server
machine. How can this be done (note, no AD involved, just
local users) |

Hello,
Do you mean you want to migrate the local user and group accounts to
another workstation?
There is a third-party tool called Member Server Migrator (MSVR-Migrator):

Hi Jetro,
Yes, addusers.exe can import/export the account. Please know that this
command does not save the account's passwords or any security information
for the accounts.
More details can be found from the link below:

Walter, you can choose the tool fits your enviornment. :)

Thank you for that info. But that tool is too expensive
for me.
I just want to copy a couple of users with their
passwords and group memberships to a different server.
This is a realtively easy task on Unix (just copy the
passwd file over), but it seems impossible on Windows :-(

Yes, that is why I suggest you use "Member Server Migrator (MSVR-Migrator)"
since there is not built-in tool to achieve this goal. Most tools to
migrate the domain user account instead of memeber server.
