Thanks for your replys, Sovereign i will try booting up into safe mode and see what happens. Catadmin, you can definately have Win2k on a RAID 5 volume as i have run up up several servers with this config, and this server will work if i do a standard (not unattended) install. Thanks again for...

Hi All, I am about to upgrade our server and need to export the AD structure and import back onto the new server. The main thing i need to know, is if it is possible to keep each accounts SID? any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Sorry i forgot to add, the main thing i need to achieve by this, is to make sure that the SIDS are migrated along with the accounts as the network has a lot of users that only use the VPN and we don't want to force these user to bring there machines in to have everything reconfigured. Thanks
