HI Gregg,
Thanks for updates.
The article I mentioned is the SBS migration white paper. Using ADMT to
migrate the AD accounts is relate to "Run As".
You can right click one of the program on SBS 2003 then you will see the
"Run As".
You can refer to that article for more detailed information.
Hope the above information helpful to your issue.
Best regards,
Charles Yang (MSFT)
