Hey, I have a project coming up soon that will require me to do a lot of work with local users/groups on Windows 2k. I will need to recreate a very complex structure of users and groups that currently exists on one of our external web sites on a new server. I have looked at my options and think that using perl to suck down group members and relationships for munging and recreation on the other server is the best way. I have a utility that will allow me to dump the users and passwords (nix the group info) from the box. My questions are (coming from a unix background here) I know there are quite a lot of modules for accessing and creating local users and groups -- what would someone that has done a lot of work in this area use for doing this? I just need something that is stable and tested. On a non perl note, I am also interested in anyones ideas for other ways to migrate local users/groups between two 2k boxes without losing passwords. I can't use local -> ad to migrate because of the way the proprietary software uses these users and groups.

Thanks in advance!
