I have Win NT4 server with some users registered.
I want to move all the records (too much to reregister them by hands) to another machine with Win2000
How can I do it?

Download the Active Directory Migration Tool from Microsoft. Use the help files to setup the trusts between the domains that you will need and then Clone your security principals (users, groups and computers).

It's fairly straight forward, but ensure that your emergancy repair info on NT4 has been updated (rdisk /s) just incase.

Add the Win2000 Server to the NT4 domain, as a BDC, this will replicate all users into Win2k server. then demote NT4 server, and dcpromo Win2k server. All settings should be there for new users.
