AppleShare 3.0: Upgrading a Users & Groups File

Using AppleShare 3.0 on a Quadra 900, I want to convert the Users & Groups file from a 2.0 server. Putting the old file in the new server's folder isn't sufficient. How can I get AppleShare 3.0 to recognize the old file?
We suggest you follow this procedure:

1) Move the Users & Groups file from the Preferences folder to the root level.

2) Put the old AppleShare 2.0 file inside the System Folder, but outside the Preferences folder.

3) Run the Admin program.

4) Enter a new password when the program prompts you for a new Administrator password.

That should convert the old file to the new format.
