|
| I'm in the process of migrating an SBS 2000 domain into a
| SBS 2003 domain. I am following the white paper
| titled "Migrating from SBS2000 to Windows SBS2003" step by
| step.
|
| I've already installed SBS2003 on the destination server.
| I've also successfully migrated one XP client to the new
| 2003 domain.
|
| However, when I tried to migrate another XP client today I
| ran into the following problem.
|
| According to Step 3, it says I need to add the Domain
| Admins group for the source server to the built-in
| Administrators group on any client computer. The strange
| thing is that when I go to add this group it's not
| listed. The only listed groups are the local computer
| groups.
|
| Am I using the wrong procedure to add groups? I open the
| SBS2003 server console and select "Local users and
| groups", expand the groups folder, and select the
| properties of the built-in local administrator. But when
| I try to add groups via Location button, it only lists the
| local computer domain. It does not list the parent server.
|
| The other XP that I already migrated lists both the parent
| server and local computer via the Location button.
|
| What am I doing wrong? How can I add the Domain Admins
| group to my built-in Administrators group?
|
| I noticed that this SBS2000 XP doesn't include the
| username "Administrator" for the SBS2000 domain in the
| control panel->User Accounts window. The only SBS2000
| domain account it includes is a username titled "ckeith"
| with administrator rights in the domain. Also, it
| includes a username that it says belongs to the local
| computer domain, but I can login with the SBS2000 domain
| selected.
