Title: RE: [ActiveDir] Computer Migration Issues with ADMT

Hi Santosh,   It is true that account is created but the machines just dont reboot. In my case i tried even changing the time from 1 min to 5 min. But the machines just dont reboot. Even after rebooting the machines manually, the domain name remained the same. After checking the logs on c:\temp on the clients machine i found this error "failed to change the domain affiliation (hr=8007054b), the specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted" . Because of this i concluded that account creation on the Target domain is may be because of ADMT agent, which gets properly installed on the client machine and do the necessary changes, but client is not able to contact the Target domain and hence dont reboot on their own.     The other most common error i have seen in the logs is that "hr=800706fb The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship". Again I guess this is related with the Administrative permission in the domain.   Santosh what error you are getting in the logs?   Regards, Sudhir Kaushal Systems Administrator ( Hosted Team ) eGain Communications Pvt.

This can't be true because all the machines I tried it on join to the target domain (I see the account created) but just don't reboot.  After I reboot them manually they log into the new domain without any issues.  Why would the machine have to resolve the target domain to reboot anyways?   Mike Celone Systems Specialist Radio Frequency Systems v 203-630-3311 x1031 f 203-634-2027 m 203-537-2406   From: Sudhir Kaushal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 1:29 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Computer Migration Issues with ADMT Hi Santosh, I had this problem while migrating the computer accounts and the things i concluded are as follows: This error is because the ADMT agent on the source domain clients is not able to resolve the target domain.   I tried first creating static WINS record of the target domain in the source domain WINS server. Though MIcrosoft dont recommend it. It didn't worked out for me, may be for the simple fact that WINS resolution is not supported when ur target Win2K domain is using DNS for the name resolution. I was migrating from NT 4.0 to Win2K. If you r using DNS in the source domain and if it doesn't have resource record of Target domain, then create it. so that ADMT agent should be able to resolve the Target domain name from the source domain DNS. Like "Targetdomain.com" . If u r using only WINS in the source domain, then make sure that u have the WINS record of the target domain in the source domain WINS server. If u r using DHCP then u can make all ur source domain clients to use DNS of Target domain by making the configuration for DNS in DHCP . So that ADMT agent could able to resolve the target domain name from Target domain DNS server only. For me the first one worked out. I hope it works for u too.
