Transfers User Accounts from NT4 to Windows 2000

The easiest way for exporting and importing is probably addusers.exe from the Resource Kit.

If you don't have the resource kit, but a csv file with your user info, you can use csvde.exe and ldifde.exe to import them into AD:

Or you can upgrade your PDC to a W2k AD Controller:

HOW TO: Upgrade a Windows NT4.0-Based PDC to a Windows 2000-Based Domain Controller

The easiest and most painless meathod would be to upgrade the existing NT PDC to Win2k.  Then build your New machine to be a Domain Controller in the existing domain.  

You will then have to move the FSMOs from the original to the New server.

Hope this helps.

Xamol, what if i just add the new box (w2k) to the NT4 domain as a domain controller?
Will w2k synch with nt4?

Xamol, your suggestion makes sense.
Thank you for your help :-)
