I have a server running LabVIEW web services (specifically, the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Farm). This server has a long list of users with registered passwords. We are replacing the server hardware for several reasons (OS upgrade, faster CPU). We would like the upgrade to be seamless, so that I can swap out the hardware, give it the same DNS address, and clients don't even notice. However, I would need to get all of the user accounts on the new server. Is there a suggested way to copy the password database to the new server? Or do I have to re-create every user account again, and have all the users set their passwords again?

It would seem that the database is located in
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\NIAuth\
Copying the files in there to the new server seemed to get the security database on the new machine.
Problem solved. (it seems)
