Querying Active Directory for settings

Due to the merger of two companies, one with a 2000 native mode Active Directory network and one with a NT4.0 network, we need to move the users from the 2000 network to the NT network. To do this I'd like to find a tool that could query Active Directory and tell me what the settings for each user are so that I can replicate that in NT 4.0 rather than having to manually document the settings. Does anyone know of such a tool?

Thanks,

-Matt

I'm not much of a programmer and this code didn't seem to give me all the info I wanted, but I appreciate the assistance and am guessing that if I knew more VB it would have been a good help.

Thanks,

You can use LDIFDE to export individual user settings into a text file.

The syntax is something like ldifde -r objectclass=user -f (filename)

Not sure that it will give you everthing, but it's worth a go. Run it on a DC.

You can also use the ADMT to give you a report showing all user settings.

Thank you for the hint, I found the LDIFDE utility to be the easiest solution for this. Was able to search the Microsoft Knowledge Base and find an article the outlined all of the command line options and it gave some good examples.

Thanks again,
