2 things - pwdump2 (http://www.bindview.com/Services/razor/Utilities/Windows/pwdump2_readme.cfm)
and ophcrack (http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/ - requires a 1-time download of the rainbow tables (700MB or so - well worth it)

run pwdump2 on the machine to dump the hashes
then load the file into ophcrack which runs it against rainbow tables - really saves time

Hi there,

I want to know how can I copy the AD (Active Directory) database so that I
can run a password cracking tool against the accounts?

Could someone please point me in the right direction regarding the tools to
use and how to copy the db?

Thanks
