If you update and don't migrate, all users can keep their same passwords, machine accounts are brought into the new domain, the NetBIOS name of the domain is the same, Access rights remain intacted, but I am unsure about the profiles, I think they still work afterwards. Try implementing Romaing profiles first so that everyone continues to use the same profile afterwards.

Dave -----Original Message----- From: Weston Rogers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 10:44 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] NT to AD client migration headaches.. blargh Hey guys. I've got a few questions and I hope someone can lead me in the right direction or give me a heads up on an idea that will help my situation. My situation is that we have 1 NT 4 domain (1 PDC, 1 BDC, 1 webserver) with 300 so clients scattered throughout 5 states. We are consolidating the 3 servers into 2 and just totally replaced all our network equip. I've tested the plan I created for our migration , but when clients log onto the new domain after being on the old one, the workstation (all win2k pro) sets up a new profile since it's a new domain, thus loosing all of their stuff .. 1 - is there any way to change this? I heard rumors about a profiler converter or something of that nature, I can't have 300 people call me at once in order for me to walk their clueless asses though email setup, etc. (lol) 2 - Or is it possible for AD to become a DC of a NT4 domain in mixed mode then after account migration remove the NT4 machines (I assume the netbios AD name could be the same as the current NT4 domain name and still have a required FQDN for AD) so clients still use the same netbios domain name for logon. I've done countless migrations , but none that fix this issue, I have NO other issues except with trying to make this as transparent as possible for the clients. I really appreciate your time, Thanks, Wes -- Wes List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
