  I copied the registry key because, even thought the article noted that it
wouldn't work for external databases, it was the only thing I found in the
KB that moved me any closer to my goal. It was also the only way I could
think of to get a list of the domains' users from the old machine to the
new short of re-entering each user again on the new machine, which this
whole query is an attempt to avoid.

  I never said I had a table, I said I had the registry export from the
original machine and the new machine isn't seeing the users.
  My problem here is pretty simple;
Original machine: NT4, IMail 5.07, IMail database
New machine: Win2000-AS, IMail 7.07, External database
  Is it, or is it not possible to transfer the domain/users from the old
machine to the new one without having to re-enter each user individually?
