Export AD info to file? 1

[dredoggg]

I want to get rid of the active directory on my network since it is malconfigured, and no one is using it anyway.

I plan to run dcpromo to remove it, but would like to backup all the AD info I can to a file.... Just in case something is using AD.

any help?

Use... ntbackup utility
and backup system state

Hi,

you can use "CSVDE.exe" and "LDIFDE.exe" to export/import the AD information.

I have got articles from MS check this out.

looks like article 237677 is what I need here... Also backing up the system state seems pretty obvious now%-).

Thanks
