Re: Backing up user accounts

This is not in an active directory environment. It is a public box that we
want to keep seperate from active directory but still be able to restore
user accounts to another machine should we have to.

That is the primary reason to have a second DC. If the first fails you
have a second DC already up and running.

Anyone if user account info (Not Active Directory) can be backed up from
one Windows 2000 machine and restored to another?

What I am looking to accomplish is to have a machine on standby where I
could quickly restore a user base to a backup machine should my primary
fail.

I don't want to replicate the hardware and all, just the user accounts.

TIA,

Chris
