Migrating users from one 2K Server Box to Another.

Heres the deal.

I have a client that has about 50+ local users(Local, not domain)on a plain Ol 2K server box, and they have a new server they want me to migrate the local users/groups from the old box to the new without having to recreate each user and group assignment. I know how to do it if it was setup with AD Domain, but not just Local users. Anyone have ideas?
 
I believe you can "copy" users by right clicking on my computer going to properties then going to the user profiles tab. Never tried it but should work.
 
Have you tried the resource kit? You might also try the NT4 resource kit, looking for a tool that will dump SAM defined users.

Another thought:
Export the user list with group membership info to flat file. Then write a small batch file which uses NET USER or a utility to add each user/group on the new server.
