We have a member server in our domain that is running our IIS site. We have local user accounts that we need to move over to a new machine that will be replacing the current server. The servers are completely different in hardware and configuration so we don't want to use tape backups, we just need the user accounts. Since the servers are member servers and not BDCs they don't replicate the user database. Is there an easy way to transfer these user accounts over without recreating each one of them.

Use the NT Resource Kit's addusers.exe utility to first dump the user list & then you can trim the accounts you don't need and use addusers.exe again to add the users on the new server.
addusers /d:file.txt (dump users)
addusers /c file.txt (create users from file)
