Title: Lazy Admin Tools

Well I am unaware of anyway to import the users from a win2k box

But something that will save you time is the Lazy admin tools thanks to Michiel Blotwijk
it reads in users from a flat file and creates them in one go... perfect if you have many users to set up and don't want to do them one by one in the server manager panel
have a look at

hope this helps

not quite as simple as that  unfortuantly, as the user profiles and the domain security have to be maintatined, I am looking into a how to for this at the moment, but until that is finished try looking here -

Then have a look on the samaba sites, it may be worth holding out until samba3 is integrated fully into SME, its currently in beta testing.
