    Anyone know any way of copying dialout connections?

    I've got a couple of "support pcs" that have dialouts to all of our customer sites that we remotely support, These machines have been in place for years and are in desperate need of rebuilds.

    That is the main reason why i don't want to ghost these machines, But i really don't want to have to go through and copy 200+ dialout connections of all types and varieties to the new machines, anyone know any way of achieving this??

    Thanks

    what OS are you running?

    For windows I found this:
    Your dial-up connections are located in the Remote Access Phonebook (Rasphone.pbk) at
    \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk.

    NOTE: Since the Application Data folder is hidden, use Windows Explorer to select the All Users folder. Use Tools / Folder Options / View to check Show hidden files and folders and press OK.

    Copy the Rasphone.pbk file to another folder for safe keeping.

    To restore the phone book, copy it back and restart your computer.

    To move it to another computer, copy it to that computers
    \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk folder and restart that computer.
