Wouldn't the files and settings transfer wizard do the trick?

Is there a way to transfer local users from one machine to another. Both machines are W2K3 patched, and neither are domain controllers. Or am I stuck recreating each account? -Marty From: Marty Nelson [mailto:mnel...@transdyn.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 1:47 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Moving LOCAL users from one computer to another Please let me apologize! Both servers are running Windows Server 2003 (Patched to the gills). The users are local users created to use a resource on that specific machine and because some are people who do not work here, in fact come are clients, creating domain accounts on the server itself seemed like the best thing to do at the time. They have no access to anything, no permissions to do anything else, nada. I was really hoping I wouldn't have to create all new accounts.

I'm currently on Google looking around but most articles deal with moving user accounts on a domain. Any help would be appreciated.
