Is there a somewhat easy way to back up/transfer settings from one Win 2000 Server machine to another?
We have a machine in our office that is primarily used as a VPN server. No data is stored. This box is several years old and I've already had to replace some odd & end parts, so I'm trying to plan ahead for when a critical part goes. I'd like to set up a separate machine (with a fresh Windows install) and simply transfer the setup from the existing box to the backup....then if something fouls up on the current machine I can just swap them out on the network until I can fix the original and cut the down time.
Is there a way to do this through Windows, or would I need to manually configure? I ask because I'm not the one that set this machine up and don't know that I'd be able to simply "copy" the settings from one to another manually and get it all right.
