How do I export the user account info off a workstation onto the server 2003? Have setup accounts on the server 2003 but when local users log onto the server with the accounts setup on the server their software and local settings disappears. I know it’s a beginners question and should be the same as server 2000 but it still has me scratching my head.

I may be misunderstanding but, why are your users logging directly onto the server? Hopefully you are just talking about logging into the domain or maybe terminal server?

Sorry for the misunderstanding. They are logging on to the domain with a user account setup from the server.

What settings are you wanting them to keep? Since it is a different profile, Windows considers it a different user. You can however copy things like the desktop, IE favorites, etc from the old local profile to the new domain profile but, it is a manual change.

We just went through this and this is the solution tha tI used. You can copy everything out of the local profile into the domain profile.
Create the domain profile by logging into the domain as the user that you are wanting to copy the profile to. And make sure that you are logging in from the computer that you are wanting to copy the local profile from. Then log out and log back in as an administrator. Now you can copy everything from the local profile to the domain profile EXCEPT the NTUSER files.
That should get all of their old settings and software into their domain profile.
