Hi All,

I have a question regarding the addition to users to a content server. We have to migrate users from two different CS inplementations to a new one. Can i directly add the rows of Users Tables from the two older CS to the new one to represent users of new CS?
I guess we need to approriately update the other tables also. .. please suggest !!!
