typr the following conmmand at the command prompt in the server u want to export the user account from :
with server=your server name
dc=yourdomain name

ldifde -f Exportuser.ldf -s server -d "dc=Export,dc=com" -p subtree -r "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=User)(givenname=*))" - "cn,givenName,objectclass,samAccountName"

this will create afile called export user.ldf

now copy this file to a floppy and issue this command at the prompt of the server u want to copy the users to:

where server2 is ur server name

ldifde -i -f ExportOU.ldf -s Server2
