Correction: &nbsp;It is a Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition, not a Small Business Edition. &nbsp;As I only have 5 cals, what can I do with the other two machines? &nbsp;Can I let those keep local user profiles and just access shared files on server?

I have 7 PCs running Windows XP Pro in a workgroup configuration. &nbsp;I'm going to add a new Windows 2003 Small Business Server to the LAN and they noin these PC to a new domain. &nbsp;How do I transfer the windows user profiles from the PCs to the Domain?<br />
<br />
In the past I have ended up with two accounts on a machine, one local and one domain. &nbsp;Ideally want the users to logon to the domain and not use a local account. &nbsp;I want to centralize the users profiles and data so that I can back it up every night to tape on the server.<br />

Need to add existing workgroup users to a new Windows 2003 Standard Server based domain

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
