i'm saying it over and over because the thought of migrating a domain into a new forest with free tools by myself is quite possibly making me insane. sorry :)
I assume the migration cookbook is on the MS site and it covers win2k to win2k forest migrations? Yes, we plan on having a win2k3 root dc at both forests and maintain a trust. i only ask about the sidHistory for user access to the old forest during the migration. Thank you and i apologize again for my confirmed insanity and more importantly, over posting. -----Original Message----- From: Mulnick, Al [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 2004 9:34 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DeForestation Tom, are you saying it over and over again and expecting a different response? I believe there's a definition for that behavior if so ;) As for the tools, it is possible to do this with the Microsoft tools. The reference for this is the migration cookbook. will this work? am i insane? >>>see above for that question; I think you might have answered that (lol) will sid history feature allow my users to still access the shares in the old forest during the migration? >>>that's a question. Why not test it early and find out? I would suspect that you will have some trust issues but otherwise it's possible (you didn't mention a trust or not; see the documentation for migrations and sIDHistory usage). is miis feature pack enough(with mssql and win2k3) to share the GAL?>>>>to share the GAL? Yep, it'll do that. is subinacl enough to re-acl all the shares and printes in my new forest?>>>Can't see any reason why not. Not to say in your organization there won't be a few issues. Usually there are a few "bumps". what issues can i expectt? is this doable? >>>>issues? There'll be a few issues that you'll have to work through. Practice makes perfect and there is no other way to really know what the issues will be in your environment specifically until you go through it. Using sIDHistory is probably not something you want to use long-term (i.e. any longer than you have to) since you won't have control of the central forest. -al -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern, Tom Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 2004 8:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DeForestation wow, i'm replying to my own posts. now its offical, i'm a loser... can you guys direct me to a good reference for what i'm asking(not the loser bit). anything that overs hitches in cross forest coexistance or migration? thanks again and sorry for beating a dead horse. -----Original Message----- From: Kern, Tom Sent: Friday, July 09, 2004 8:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] DeForestation I'm migrating a child domain from one win2k forest to a new one. the source forest is running win2k3 in the root and i have a destination forest with one empty winn2k3 dc. i'm using admt, miis feature pack and exchange migration wizard(both forests will have exchange2k in native mode). i'm also using subinacls to re-acl everything. all my source dc's in the child domain are winsk though i have some NT member servers. my clients are all win2k pro and winXP. i have one brand new server that is running the win2k3 root in the dest. forest. will this work? am i insane? will sid history feature allow my users to still access the shares in the old forest during the migration? is miis feature pack enough(with mssql and win2k3) to share the GAL? is subinacl enough to re-acl all the shares and printes in my new forest? what issues can i expectt? is this doable? I apologize for all the questions but my cio wants to leave our current forest for polotical reasons in 2 weeks and i'm the only one doing this migration and i thought you guys could help me even see if this is feasible(he doesn't want to spend the money for Alieta or any other third party apps!!??). the only AD aware or dependent app we have is exchange2k(the root domain is using SAP but i don't know if this will affect it). i'd just like some input. i know this si a broad and big topic but just any advice or war stories or even "no don;t do this, are you insane!", would be great. thanks alot and again, my apologies for throwing such a big diverse topic out there. i know it can't be resolved in a simple forum....
