Hi
I have a Win2K server that I have to scrub clean, its a DC and there is no backup controller
Is there a way to backup users & their passwords so that I don't have to enter all that information again once I bring up the server again?

Add another DC to the domain and ensure replication occurs between the two, then demote the DC you need to rebuild using dcpromo.

You can also export your user accounts. Trouble is you have to reset the passwords, and make the user reset on logon. If you want to look for one of those tools, look on the server disk, there is a folder with all sorts of tools like this.

Goodluck,

Thanks but, what is the name of the program that exports and where is it on the server disk?
