Migrating a Web Server to IIS 5.0

Migrating Users and Groups

An important component of migration is transferring the identities and passwords of system users and groups to the new server. To make this easier, you can use Addusers.exe, a utility for adding user accounts to Windows 2000 Server, included on the Resource Kit companion CD.

If you’re migrating from Netscape Enterprise Server 3.5, consider using the IIS Migration Wizard included on the Resource Kit companion CD to automate the migration of your local user database.

You also need to configure security on the user and group accounts, and you might want to create new group identities to enhance security. For information about doing this, see the Windows 2000 Server online product documentation.
