My current Domain Controller is failing. It does still work but it's hanging by a thread. So I bought new hardware all together since the original DC is getting a bit old. I simply wonder how I copy my domain controller (the database I assume with all the users) to the new machine. I also have...

I have a huge issue right now with my Terminal Server. Every time a user is launching Outlook, an instance of winword.exe is also launched. That is all good since I assume that it's the default behavior. However, every instance eats about 90MB of memory, making a Terminal Server with 50 users...
