Windows 2000 Terminal migration to 2003.

[Guest Lasse]

Hi

 

We have a Windows 2000 Terminal server and I am planning to change it to

2003. My idea was to save all the important data and each users profile and

then do a fresh installation of Server 2003.

My problem is that I am not sure how to backup the user profiles so I can

import them when the 2003 server is running. If I can't save the user

profiles all the printers need to be installed again and I would like to

avoid that.

 

Any ideas?

I would not recommend saving the profiles as profile migration from one

version to another is typically ripe with problems. I think you'll save

yourself a lot of trouble over the long run by simply using new

profiles. If you are truly concerned about the printers you could

export the key for each user and reimport that.
