We have an NT 4.0 Workstation with serveral Local users set up on it. The users need to be transferred to a new machine. Except from re entering the info manually whats the best way to go about this?

Thanks.
 
Is new machine being set up with same software as old?
Have these users much actual 'individual' stuff? (eg, lots of different software menus, personal documents, favourites, email?). If they do, then might be best after setting up software & local accounts & logging on local users to create their profiles to just overwrite these newly created profiles with those from old machine.

PS. Is this a domain environment & is it just local users affected?
 
If you right click on my computer go to profiles you can copy profiles to you new machine..
