RE: Migration

Hi Patti,

It is nice to hear from you again.

It seems that after you migrate users and computers, the user creates a new
profile when it is logged on. You may use the Copy To feature to copy the
old profile to new profile. If the operating system is Windows XP, you may
refer to the following steps:

1. Log on the machine with another user account which has local
administrative privilege (other than the old or new domain user account
which you will copy its profile).
2. Open System properties from Control Panel.
3. Click Advanced button, and then click Settings button in User Profiles
section.
4. Click on the old user's profile, and then click on Copy To button.
5. Type the new user profile folder.
6. Click on Change button to grant the new domain user account permissions
to the profile.

For more information, you may refer to the following link:

us/sysdm_userprofile_copy.mspx

Hope this helps.

Hi Patti,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Based on my experience, this error message usually indicates that
there
is
something wrong with the DNS configurations on client computers.

Please first verify the DNS Server settings in TCP/IP Configuration
are
correct on each domain controller and client machine. Verify that
domain
names can be correctly resolved on each client machine and domain
controller.

You may also refer to the following KB article to troubleshoot this
issue:

The Active Directory Migration Tool displays a "RPC server is
unavailable"
error message
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=837366

If the issue still exists, please let me know the following points:

1. What are the operating systems on domain controllers of the source
domain and destination domain?

2. At what point during the ADMT process the error occurs?

3. Please help me to capture a screen shot of the error message and
send
it
to me at v-stwang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To capture a screen shot, you can:

a. When the screen appears, press the Print Screen key several times,
which
is to the right of the F12 key on the keyboard.
b. Open Paint or Microsoft Word or WordPad.
c. Click Edit (menu) -> Paste or press Ctrl + V.
d. Click File (menu) -> Save. Save it to a file and attach it in
email
to
send it to me at v-stwang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hope this helps. If anything is unclear or you have any concerns,
please
feel free to post back. I am glad to be of assistance.

Have a nice day!

Hello Patti,

Thank you for posting.

From your post, my understanding of this issue is: You would like
to
know
how to migrate computers from one domain to another new domain.
If
this
is
not correct, please feel free to let me know.

Based on my knowledge, we can use ADMT (Active Directory Migration
Tool)
to
migrate computers from one domain to another without touching each
workstation.

For more information about ADMT, you may refer to the following
links:
