Hi all
I want to ask about the users password in Active Directory. Is there any chance to view all users password in sheet.
This is if I need to copy all users from Domain to another
Full Version: Account Password
Errr, Nope is the simple answer to that I'm afraid, you could always have a look at MS website to see if it has any software for migrating users across domains, TBH which I’m sure there must be.
Or the other way if the main DC is failing, is to create another DC add it to the domain, and in sites and services, make sure that it is a global catalogue server. Then you should be free to remove the old DC using DC Promo.

In all my Days as a Network admin, you would be surprised to know how may people think I can see there passwords, and I am always VERY suspicious of people who ask how to do it. As a net admin there should be NEVER any occasion you should need to see or know anyone’s password, you have the rights to do what you want with out the need for them. If your moving users across to a new domain, I would put a lot more trust in the Domain admin if I was told “We couldn’t set your passwords as we don’t have access to them” then if he said “We’ve managed to create your accounts with your old password, I did with the list that I left by the photocopier and has been stolen, could the person who has it return it please. Oh and I have changed the Admin password so it don’t work anymore.” I think you get my point. You should point out as a matter of security that users should set the passwords up on joining a new domain

At a command prompt, type Addusers \\servername /d filename.txt (where servername is the name of a domain controller, member server, or workstation), and then press Enter.
Note: Password information is not saved in a user account dump and if you use the same file to create accounts, all passwords of newly created accounts will be empty. All created users are required to change their password at logon by default.
