We have one Stand Alone Server 2003R2 machine
with about 75 users no Active Directory or Domain.
Each user has his own share along with a few group shres.
We have a second machine with Server 2003 R2 and we are trying to make it a Hot Swap Backup.
This machine is a completely differnt make, model, drivers and even drive sizes.
I have tried to use a system state restore from the Primary Server on the Backup Server, it made the backup machine unbootable and it had to have Server 2003 reloaded.
Question: How do we copy the Users and the Share properties to the backup machine?
All of the data from the shares is backed up to a removable disk on a drive rotation. So getting this data is not a problem.
We want to be able to copy the data from the Removable drive, change a machine name and hopefully keep running like nothing happened.
