Moving MariaDB User Accounts from a 10.2 Windows Server to 10.11.5 Windows Servers

If I copy the entire data folder on the 10.2 server and place it on the 10.11 server, will it automatically include all MaraiDB user accounts that were created on the 10.2 server?

Mostly likely it would work. But I suggest to try and see. You're skipping many major versions with this upgrade, this is not a scenario that is tested sufficiently well.

You would still have to fix up the data directory with mysql_upgrade afterwards, if you're doing it like this.
