Moving thousands of users from production system...

[Dave Cast]

I need to move about 2000 users from a production system to a replacement server...the current production system is an (trusted system) 11.0 being moved to an (trusted system) 11.31...

I know I can write a script to extract the names of the accounts and create them - my question is this: can I copy the user accounts & home directories (essentially everything related to the user accounts) to the new system
and have them use their existing passwords (from the old system)when they go to login to the new one?

I believe that's possible. You'll need to copy the /tcb directory structures and their home directories but that should do it.
