Hi,

Is there a way to backup the users in a winnt4.0 platform.I would like to backup all the users in case of a disaster. Is there a seperate file to back up also is it possible to print the users. I currently use manager for domains to add anddelete users. Also can I backup ras configuration & wins configuration..... thanks in advance...

Well, I would get a high-quality backup software like ArcServe or BackupExec. Also pick up the Open File Agents to grab the open SAM database (where NT user profiles are stored), as well as WINS databases and/or RAS config files.

On your PDC, open a DOS command shell and type:
Net User >myusers.txt
That will spool out all users in your domain to a text file called myusers.txt.

Hope that helps.

Yes, it can be done.
I use AcrServe often once a month with Disaster Recovery option to backup my PDC & also take backups of the SAM Database having user info.
However AcrServe or Backup Exec are costly, for a free option, run "Regedit" & export the registry to a file. You can then erstore it in case of problems in your server.
Lpht0 Crack can also be used to dump user database.
