Migrating users/passwords simply

[Leozack]

Hi all - I'm wondernig if there's a way to simlpy duplicate users/passwords from one server/domain to a new server/domain. I know you can setup domain trusts, dns sharing, use ADMT and such - but isn't there any way to just export a bunch of users with passwords and then import them at the other end? I don't need to worry about SIDs as I'm recreating all shares/security permissions on the new server anyway. I just don't want to set them all up manually (I don't even know all their passwords) but setting up the trusts and stuff is longwinded and actually removes them from the source server/domain which I can't even do until the final moment. TIA if there's a solution

Dont think you can get passwords, but for extraction and creation yes.
here is a script.[there is also one to msaccess]

nope cant grab passwords (users and computers are pretty easy though)
passwords are encrypted items
