Thanks for your reply .

Please verify the IP configuration on the client machine for DNS
resolution; it should be able to ping both domain controllers by FQDN.
Pinging by host name does not ensure DNS resolution because name resolution
may occur via WINS.

If all settings appear to be correct and the migration still fails, follow
these steps:

1) Log on to the client machine as administrator.
2) Right-click the network connection and choose properties.
3) Click on "Client for Microsoft Networks" and click the uninstall button.
4) Reboot the machine
5) Log back in to the client machine
6) On the properties of the network connection, click the install button
7) Under clients, choose Client for Microsoft Networks
8) Reboot the machine

Once the machine comes back up, attempt to migrate it again.

If ADMT still fails after removing and reinstalling the Client for
Microsoft Networks and File and Printer sharing, rename the computer and
retry ADMT.

In addition, please refer to the following document for other possible
causes.

error message in Windows Small Business Server 2003
