Is there an easy way to migrate users from NT4 to Advanced server 2000?
I need to carry out this task in the week begining 27 Oct 03. Students are on mid term and the whole system needs upgrading during this time.
I think that drag and drop from NT4 server to 2K server is quickest. Am I right???
Regards to all

Umm, no. You can't just drag-n-drop your users from an NT4 PDC to a Win2K Active Directory server.

Migrating to Win2K is a major issue, one you need to read up on and make plans of before you do it. Go to this page:

And look around and read up on doing this.

I wish that is that case that you just cut and paste the old file and user and you are done .. that makes our job easier and maybe a lot of us in the un-employment line..

Migration is a lot of planning. The best thing is to is what to do with the dns, dhcp, wins, and other services that is being done by the present servers. You mentioned that it is advanced server so you are looking up several servers.

I advise you to read more on the win2k white paper and do the planning. If you are not comfortable with it .. hire a consultant. You need to search the win2k drivers for scsi drives and hardware.For once you click that install button no turning back... and it may cost your job...

good luck
