AppleShare IP 6.3 export and import of Users and Groups now retains passwords, group relationships, and account settings.

AppleShare IP 6.3 Administration exports data from the Users and Groups datafile in a structured, hierarchical text format, [filename].xml. It contains group memberships, encrytped passwords, and most account status settings such as "can log in", "can administer", "require new password", and so forth.

When reimported by AppleShare IP 6.3 Admin, all these parameters will be incorporated into the new (or current) Users and Groups datafile. Note that this .xml file does not contain access privileges such as specific read-write access or folder ownership. The server administrator will have to assign access and ownership to the appropriate directories for the imported users and groups.
