admt:
source domain: OLDDOMAIN

But how all workstations will be changed to NEWDOMAIN membership ?

Computer Migration

One of the most overlooked ADMT features is the Computer Migration Wizard. At first glance, it appears this feature is used only to re-create identical computer accounts within Active Directory. However, the tool goes much further than that. Remember that logging on to a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 workstation with a new user account, even with the same login name, creates a new user profile on the machine. This means all previous settings, such as desktop appearance, shortcuts, and printers, are lost. This can cause problems for users and the administrators that support them. The Computer Migration Wizard can dispatch an agent to the NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 workstation that will migrate all local user profiles, so when the users log on to the workstation with their new Windows 2000 account, they will receive the same profile settings as before.
