Usermanager and Different Domains!

[TechIr1shm1ike]

We have a few domains in my place of work. My question is I want to move a few Users from one of the Domains to the other. Is this possible or do I need to create new accounts for all these Users? I am new to this so I appreciate any help I can get. I know in UserManager you can do a copy of a account and it brings up a window with everything filled out, but for that domain, I don't think I can do this between domains. Is this possible in any way?

What OS? NT or 2k?

are there trusts? (need all the details if so)
------------

Short and simple... you can export user accounts to a .csv file and import them. All you have to do is reset the passwords. (They dont get exported ot imported)

There are other ways, but you need to supply the above info.

Here is a place for some tools to extract user accounts .. (including passwords if you have the time)

LC4 comes to mind right away ,... but they produce alot of usefull stuff for network admins. Most have a 30 day trial, so if tis is a one time thing.. use it.. and see... if you have to do this alot... might want to buy it.. or look at the NT4 Resource Kit from Microsoft.

Let me know about the trusts.

Yes there are trusts between the two domains!

Im not sure on the website you provided where am I looking. I don't see any place for downloads I just see about their services.

Then just have the users log on to the original domain.. it saves a lot of trouble.
BTW, LC4 does not provide brute force cracking of passwords in the unregistred version so you'd better have a file with the passwords written down...

With the trusts.. you can just add the user from the other domain to a group on the new donaim... and when they log in... it with transverse the domains and the new domain will verify the user account with the other domain and it will grant it the access token for permissions in the new domain.



and no LC4 shareware willl not do bruteforce, but unless you have alot of "STRONG" passwords set by users.. then dont worry about it. besides... the tool is soooo common place... i'm sure you could.. uh... call them... or something... and "aquire" a better 30 day trial that would demo the FULL features for there product to.. uh .. better educate you on if you need to BUY it.
