I'm past that problem now. I had to change some of the DNS settings
for the
Source Domain. ADMT is working now however, I can't get the
passwords to
migrate. PES is installed with the key generated from the Target DC.
The
Source DC was rebooted after installing the PES. Whenever I try to
migrate
the passwords I get the error:
"Unable to establish a session with the password export server. Either
the
currently logged on user does not have sufficient permissions to call
the
Password Export Server or the account that the Password Export Server
Service
is running under does not have sufficient permissions on the target
domain
controller. Verify that the logged on user is a member of the
Administrator
group in the source domain and that the Password Export Service
account can
change password of user accounts in the target domain."
The account on the Source domain is the Domain admin for the source
domain.
On the Target domain the account running the ADMT is the Domain admin
for the
target domain. I'm trying to change the password on the Target domain
to be
the same password as the Source domain but I keep getting the message
that it
doesn't match the complexity requirements even though I've turned down
the
complexity requirements to match the password. Also I can't find
anyway to
add the account from the source domain to the Target domain's
administrator's
group.

Yeah, I've decided that ADMT is better for what we want since there
are a large number of users. However. When trying to use it I keep
getting a 1355 error that the source domain doesn't exist. I've
created a two-way trust between the domains and both machines can
ping each other.

Hello Dave C.,

If you only need the same names and OU's etc. then you can do it
this way. And if you have not so much users password reset after
creating the accounts will be easier and faster then using ADMT.

The new domain isn't a replacement for the other one. It just
needs to have the same users. It won't have the same workstations
at all. Would it better to use the ADMT to get all the passwords
as well?

Hello Dave C.,

You user settings, password for example, will not be imported to
the new domain. Also machine accounts not. So you have to rejoin
all domain computers and member servers. All your user will need
new passwords and they get new profiles on the computers where
they work. The old profiles on there computers will still exist
but i am not sure if they will be accessible for normal user
accounts, only admins can access them and then copy them to the
new created profile.

If you except all this limitations.
