Windows Server - Upgrading users/permissions etc from old win2000 to new winxp
Asked By BertieBigBollo
26-Oct-09 08:47 PM
Got an old laptop which currently runs Windows 2000 workstation which
we are planning to replace with a newer laptop running Windows XP.
Installed XP and re-installed all the apps etc. Is there any way to
export the users/permission settings from windows 2000 to import into
Windows XP? Rather than have to go through and recreate users/groups/
permissions etc from scratch?

If you need a scripted approach to handle a large number of
machines and users, the User State Migration Tool is your friend.

If you have only couple profiles to transfer, the File And Settings
