Jason,
About your remark on the 1st question "You may have to ensure that all
Workstations point to
the 2003 DNS Server prior to their migration."
Isn't it possible to create a MS KB article for this issue ? Today this is
not documented at all and apparently more people are experiencing problems
with workstation migrations (see also my posting of 16 March ADMT computer
migration and name resolution (DNS))
Regards,
Sven
