How can I migrate local users/groups from old Windows 2000 server to new Windows 2003 server?

On a Windows 2000 box I have setup local users and one group for the purposes of ftp sites for our clients to transfer files to their own site. We are now moving to a different server running Windows 2003. I would like to be able to transfer the users/group and related folders with permissions to the new server without setting them all back up by hand. I see tools available for migrating users to Active Directory but nothing for local to local migration. How should I go about doing this? Is there a capability already built into Windows 2000/2003 for this purpose? Thanks

  • You may want to look at SecureCopy http://www.scriptlogic.com/Products/securecopy/. It may be overkill for a single server migration, but it handles the kind of local account and group manipulations that you're facing.

    : Well there is a free trial so I might as well give it a shot
