I need to export NT4 users names and passwords only to a y2k standalone machane. can I do this
I have over 100 users, and most of my users are mobile so really I do not want to ask them to change password at next login or at any other time.

i do not think passwords can be exported to a file

cheers
I think you'll find that ahmedbahgat is correct in the sense that the passwords are not stored anyware - only hashed values, so it would be impossible to directly export them,

but this makes very interesting reading:

A dictionary attack on any weak passwords will reveal them once the hashes are obtained.
