Pretty much, yep. The other option is to just migrate the users to the
one domain and have only one domain. It really depends on how you
want your security setup.

Now, I haven’t actually used ADMT as I went from NT to 2000 with a
completely clean install and then from 2000 to 2003 with just an
upgrade. However,I know many who have used it with no problems and
been quite successful. The worst that can happen is that you would
have to delete the users. However, migration keeps the SIDs intact
which therefore keeps the security in tact. I also use xcopy to copy
all the files with permissions in tact.

Remember that you won’t have any data loss as long as you back it up
to the other computer. The worst scenario is that the permissions will
be lost. However, they are easily created again it is just a bit time
consuming.

Cheers,

Lara
