Replacing 2 PCs in an Existing Network (SBS2003)

[Avathar77]

There are 12 OLD PCs(Windows 7) in the network with a server running Small Business Server 2003 R2.
Have to replace 2 of them at a time with new PCs(Windows7).

Have to keep the same user accounts and settings in those new PCs as the OLD ones do.

I want to check if there is a specific way of doing this?

Is that "http://(servernamehere)/connectcomputer"?

Doesn’t the SBS2003 connection wizard install client software that doesn’t play well with Windows 7 UAC? I’ve added the last few Windows 7 machines to the SBS2003 domain I deal with manually to avoid this.

The connection wizard isn’t going to migrate any settings from existing client machines anyway. It does have options for migrating existing local user account data to user domain accounts, but that’s not going to help in this case.

Is the user data redirected to the server, and are you using group policy for the client configuration?

User data is is going to be redirected in the new PCs, group policy has been already applied.

How do you manually add PCs to SBS2003?
