asked on

can i use new sbs installation for old domain name and usernames?

The situation is this:

The server took a dump. I am hoping that I can install SBS on a new drive, using the same information, ie domain name, computer name, and then just register usernames on the new server, and each workstation will be able to log on, as if it were the same server. is this possible?

Thanks. OK, for the sake of argument, say I didn't have backups. How difficult is it to get the user profiles transferred over? In the previous installs, I have had so many headaches with user profiles that I really need to find a better way to do it. Is Windows Easy Transfer the way to go?
