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?
 
Re: Windows 2000 Terminal migration to 2003.

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.
