how to migrate domain and its users?

[Guest gonzo]

hello,

 

I was given a HP laptop in my work with Windows XP preinstalled. the

problem is that the system is equipped with all bells and whistles,

consumes a lot of resources and works slower than it could. Of course, I

am not allowed to delete the preinstalled os, which is standardized for

a company, but I am allowed to resize the original partition and make

another bootable one. this is what I plan to do. but one thing bothers

me: is there a way to migrate existing domain and its users, so that I

could log in to domain on new environment? frankly speaking I know

nothing about domain logons -- where should I start reading? could you

point me to some tutorials regarding the subject in question? generally:

is it doable, easy, difficult, impossible?

 

I would greatly appreciate your help, especially on important issues I

should pay attention to.

 

thank you,

gonzo

This isn't at all possible unless the IT folks at your company do this for

you, I'm afraid. If they won't support you playing with the settings in this

installation, I suggest you get another computer/laptop for your own use and

don't mess with this one.
