How to migrate data from a failing server

reporting · Dec 2, 2007

We have a server that is failing. I was kind of suprised that no one had an answer to our problem
SBS 2003 SP2 Install Error: Service Pack 2 Setup Error. Access Denied so I am now thinking of reformatting...

If I do that, I will purchase another server that I will use as a PDC. Of course, I will then want to migrate user settings, etc., from the other server prior to reformatting the old one. Fortunately, we aren't using Exchange yet!

Can someone point me to step-by-step instructions for this kind of procedure? I looked at the FAQ's here and in the Windows Server 2003 forums and didn't find anything...

Thanks very much,

Thanks very much Pat. Unfortunately, my server OS died late yesterday. I couldn't find anyway to repair it so I re-installed the OS. All of my data is still there but I now have to re-install the apps...
