| Hello - I have seen the posts on migrating NT4 to a clean win23k
environment,
| however, I have inherited a different situation and would greatly
appreciate
| some guidance.
|
| Environment:
| Servers: (3) Win2k (non-SBS) - 2DCs, (1) Win2003, (1) NT4
| Clients: About 50 (all XP Pro except for one win 2K Pro).
| Domains: (1) on an NT4 PDC, (1) win2k/AD
|
| The NT4 server is used only for network logons under one domain (no BC).
| There is also a second win2K domain (mixed mode) set up for exchange 2003
| along with some other server apps. There is a trust relationship set up
| between the two domains and, all clients have the same username/password
in
| both domains. We want to transition necessary settings from the NT box
| to the Win2k environment and then upgrade the Win2k boxes.
|
| 1. I believe what has to be moved at this point is the client settings
for
| MS and 3rd party apps (e.g. Adobe, Blackberry Desktop and others). I
have
| looked at ADMT and ran some tests with
| XPs File and Transfer Settings Wizard and simply copying the profile.
They
| did a decent job on most of the
| Microsoft apps and desktop settings, but did drop enough that the manual
| rework would be very time consuming. Third party apps like Blackberry,
Adobe
| and others were problematic. I have not tried ADMT as it requires native
| mode and I'm a little concerned about causing issues between the domains
that
| would result in logon issues causing an immediate disaster.
| Most tools I have seen assume a transition from the old domain to a new
| domain that does not already have all the accounts/computers set up. I'm
| willing to try ADMT if moving the win2k domain to native mode will not
pose
| a risk to the current environment. Please advise on this.
|
| Also, are there other tools out there that would be better suited to the
| task or, other approaches that make sense?
|
| 2. Are there other settings I need to worry about moving? Since the
clients
| already have accounts in the Win2K domains, I'm not seeing a reason to
try to
| move any security history, etc. Please advise if I'm missing something
here.
|
| 3. Any information or pointers to help educate me would be much
appreciated.
|
| Thanks for your help.
