Our business runs a network consisting of a variety of workstations
running a variety of Operating Systems, all networked to a server
running Windows Server 2003.

One of our workstations is on its last legs. I went out and bought a
new workstation, running Windows XP Professional. I staretd to try to
configure it to run on the network, but I've been having a devil of a
time getting it to talk to the server, etc.

A question popped into my head (I'm not the most savvy network
person): Would there be a way to "copy" the settings of another WIn XP
PRo workstation onto this one, so it would connect and perform as the
other one would?
