I used to do something like this with a pair of servers back in about 96 where I needed a warm completely separate spare at all times.
The thing is that the SIDs of all of the objects are different so all of the data has to be properly ACL'ed on the second box and any changes need to be transformed to be correct on the second box. Also the passwords can't be synced unless you have a password change notification filter which you will have to write that will capture the clear text passwords when changed and send them to the second server.

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
