RE: MIgration Question

Hello,

Glad to hear from you and thanks for your detailed information based on
your scenario.

First, please help me confirm my understanding: In physically, there are
many sites under CompanyC, such as Monaco, Houston. In logically, they are
OUs in AD. Now you want to migrate CompanyA domain and CompanyB to Houston
OU in CompanyCXX domain.

In AD, if you only want to migrate these two domain to Houston OU. During
migrate by using ADMT, in every migration Wizard, such as Group account
migration Wizard, User account migration Wizard and Computer account
migration Wizard, there is an option will let you to choose which OU you
want to migrate to (refer to the screen shot named Choose OU and this is
the option in User account migration Wizard).

HTH!

Thanks & Regards

>> 5. Install Win2k3 on original NT machine
>> 6. Promote it to DC called ABC.com
>> 7. Use migration process to migrate info from EFG.com to ABC.com
