INTRODUCTION
This article describes how to import and to export the Internet Authentication Service (IAS) configuration information from one Microsoft Windows 2000 Server-based computer to another Windows 2000 Server-based computer.



MORE INFORMATION
You can use the Netsh command-line utility to import and to export IAS configuration information. The Netsh utility lets you display or modify the network configuration of a computer either locally or remotely. This utility also provides a scripting feature that lets you run a group of commands in batch mode against a specified computer. You can also use the Netsh utility to save the IAS configuration information in a text file as a Netsh command script for archival purposes or to configure IAS on other servers.

To export the IAS configuration information of a Windows 2000 Server-based computer to a text file, follow these steps:  At a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

netsh aaaa show config > 

Note In this command, &quot;aaaa&quot; indicates the authentication, authorization, accounting, and auditing (AAAA) database. The AAAA database is also known as the IAS database. The &quot;show config&quot; string is used to display the configuration of the IAS database file as a Netsh command script. The  placeholder indicates the file that contains the IAS configuration information. Close the command prompt.

To import the IAS configuration information from one Windows 2000 Server-based computer to another Windows 2000 Server-based computer, follow these steps:  Copy the text file that contains the source computer's IAS configuration information to the destination computer. At a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

netsh exec 

Note In this command, &quot;netsh exec&quot; is the string that is used to import the IAS configuration information. The  placeholder indicates the file that contains the IAS configuration information. Close the command prompt.</ol>

For additional information about IAS, see the &quot;Internet Authentication Service for Windows 2000&quot; white paper. To do this, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
