Hello,
Thanks for your post.
You described that you want to change the settings in 2003 test domain to
allow non complex password in order to migrate user accounts from NT4
domain to a new 2003 AD domain. Do you mean there is a password option
when migrating user account?
Based on my experience, you can use the following two options to migrate
password:
Option 1: Use ADMT migration user wizard
========================================
When you migrate from NT4 to 2003, in User Account Migration Winzard, there
is a Password Options, under What type of password do you want to use? You
can choose Complex password or Same as user name. If you choose complex
password, the new passwords in 2003 domain will use the complex password
and if you choose Same as user name, these passwords will same as user name
after migration.
And under the two options, the new passwords in 2003 will be generated and
there is a Location to store these new passwords in a password file that
you need to choose which location you will store the password.txt. After
migration, the password.txt file will be created under the location you
have chosen. When a user account logs on the new domain at the first time,
it will prompt to change password, and ask you to enter the old password at
first then enter the new password you want to use. At this time, the old
password is in the password.txt file which is created after migration.
Note: I have caught a screen shot of the above description in migration
user wizard named MigratePW.jpg and paste it here.
Opinion 2: Create .pes file and migrate the password
=======================
You can refer to the following KB article to migrate the old password in
NT4 domain to 2003 domain:
How to configure the Active Directory Migration Tool to migrate user
passwords from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Windows Server 2003 domain
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;832221
This step you need perform before migrate user account and then choose the
third option which is Migrate Password in screen shot.
After performing this step in KB, it will create a .pes file and the old
domain passwords will be stored in this file. While you are running User
Account Migration Wizard by using ADMT, you should choose the option of
Migrate password and the old password in NT4 will migrate to new domain.
NOTE: After migration, the user will be promoted/require to change their
password when they first logon to the win2k3 domain in spite of you use
option1 or option 2. Therefore, please change their password when they
first logon to the win2k3 domain.
HTH!
