Re: Mirror ftp sites and user accounts in IIS

You can use the "net user" command to create the new user accounts,
supplying the user name and password. Put that into a batch file and run it
to create all the user accounts.

You can not going to be able to export the passwords from your existing
SAM - Windows doesn't store user passwords unencrypted, or using reversible
encryption. They are hashed using a one-way hashing algorithm and then
stored.

Hi

We have 2 ftp servers in seperate DMZs in different parts of the country
both running W2003 Server and IIS running with users isolated using local
accounts and individual ftp sites - has to be this way due to the nature
of
our business and also the files get copied to remote sites around the
country. I need to mirror them for failover purposes and load-balancing,
and
so far I have copied the ftp directory structure and 85 - 90 ftp sites
using
the export/import xml file in IIS, but I need now to export and import the
user accounts and passwords. They are local users on the servers and not
part of our ADS structre at all, and never will be. I can export the
users
to a text file - can that then be imported onto the 2nd server? How do I
deal with the passwords? I don't want to have to manually go through and
re-set 120-odd passwords!

I've been looing for a solution for ages - can anyone help?
