We are using the Quest Fastlane Migrator 6.0.2 and are very happy with it. Only real drawback is the ability to re-migrate groups is missing. i.e. you cannot do a big bang migration of groups and then when you wish to update the groups (as membership may have changed) it will only re-create the group (with a new SID) not update the membership.
So we wrote our own tool to do that bit. -----Original Message----- From: Morley, Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 November 2003 15:57 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Migration Tool I am testing out the Aelita tool, I've seen it work in my lab with W2k pro machines, fairly easily. Did you find out what went wrong? I'd like to know before my migration becomes a "crash and burn" scenario.
