Re: backup user accounts

The disk image gets older in time since new software versions are

the user accounts (and eventually to make a new image).

Probably my initial question was wrong, so I reformulate it here: is there
any possibility of saving the user accounts and restorring them without an
imaging software?

Good maintenance means making images on a regular basis, but if you don't
want to use imaging software and would rather spend the time reinventing
the wheel that's your choice. Post your question in the server newsgroup
that corresponds to the version of Server you are using. This isn't really
a security issue.

microsoft.public.windows.server.general
microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs

Good luck and I'm sorry I was unable to help you.
