Just to update my migration from NT 4.0 domain to a 2003 domain.
I used the tool from MS to do this with some success. I guess it would
be great for large installation, but in my situation with only 25 users,
it wasn't so good.
I had about 20 PC's that randomly had their firewall on therefore the
computer migration didn't work out so I spent most of the time forcing
these PC's to join the domain and copying the profiles over. I think
the password migration for users is hokey. I had to resort to passwords
being the same as usernames. Well, I didn't realize that some usernames
created with Caps also set passwords the same, so I spent about 30 mins
resetting peoples passwords to lowercase for less confusion.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
