(I asked this same question in the Migration Forum and they suggested I post it here, so here goes...)
OK...let me see if I can get this question out the way I need to....
I inherited a Windows 2000 Server that's on it's last legs. We have a new server, a Windows 2013 Standard machine that we just recently purchased. I need to migrate the users and groups over to the new server, but there are two things that are making it difficult:
- The 2000 machine is NOT a Domain Controller
- The 2000 machine is NOT running Active Directory
This is a file server that hangs onto another network of which I have no control of. It has its' own IP address and there is NO WAY we can run Active Directory or make it a domain controller.
I have close to 300 users, groups, and printers to bring over to the new server. Rather than kill myself doing manual input, is there any other way to do this?
