Re: MIGRATE USERS TO NEW DOMAIN

Hello,

We can use the Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) to migrate the user,
group and computer objects and migrate the profiles, shares and files on the
computers.

ADMT is a free tool which can be downloaded:

Active Directory Migration Tool v3.0
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6F86937B-533A-466D-A8E8-AFF85AD3D212&displaylang=en

Addition Information on ADMT:
========================

1. KB articles:

How to set up ADMT for Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000 migration
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/260871/en-us

326480 How to use Active Directory Migration Tool version 2 to migrate from
Windows 2000 to Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;326480

2. The Domain Migration Cookbook contains some step-by-step screen shots
showing how to use ADMT in some scenario. It should be also helpful for us
to understand the ADMT usage.

3. ADMT usages are a bit different according to the detailed migration
scenarios. Please refer to the following documents according to your
migration scenario there:

Restructuring Active Directory Domains Between Forests

Restructuring Active Directory Domains Within a Forest
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/all/deployguide/en-us/dssbh_rera_overview.asp

4. The following is an online session that introduction to domain migration
using ADMT which covers the features, requirements, and configurations
required to perform a domain migration between domains with ADMT.

Support WebCast: Domain Migration Using the Microsoft Active Directory
Migration Tool

5. Help Document is also a good resource. To get detailed explanation on the
ADMT options, you can refer to the DomainMig.chm in the ADMT installation
folder. The "Wizards Page Descriptions" section contains explanations for
the check boxes on each ADMT wizard.

Hope this helps!
