Re: Move users between forests (mixed mode)

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Well, why do you need to migrate into a mixed mode domain? Mixed mode only
means that there are BDCs --nothing else. Why is it a requirement that you
keep BDCs. The idea of a migration is that you move away from all of this.

Now, you can probably migrate when in mixed mode - I just don't think SID
History will work if this is the case. ADMT won't do what you want, but
other products from Quest and NetIQ, etc. might well do so...
