Ok... In NT (any version...), there is a command line utility called <addusers>. With the /d switch, the usernames and groups are dumped to a specified filename. See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b199878 for more details. Then if you want to migrate the passwords, a tool such as L0phtCrack can get most (managed 98% here) passwords out of the SAM database, via pwdump. The alternative to the above is to wait until summer, then tell all the users their passwords have been reset for security reasons, then miss out the last step and just generate passwords for them.

Is there any easy way to migrate the users keeping their passwords (and home directories if possible but this could be done manually) in the same way that users can be migrated from NT to 2000 using the AD Migration Tool. I currently have a version of the users in a temporary 2k test server if this makes any difference or provides another way of doing it. Incidentally I will either be migrating them to redhat 8.0 or a version if suse if that makes any difference. Anybody done anything like this before?
