servers first? workstations first? first what? I assume you're talking about migrating your servers and workstations from an NT4 domain to an AD domain - correct? If so, the order strongly depends on various aspects, such as the status of your user and group migration and how you handle permissions on your servers. There's too much detail here to know, which doesn't make sense to add without knowing more about your environment.
But more often than not it is more advisable to 1. migrate your users accounts and groups to AD 2. take care of the user profiles on the workstations and ensure that the users are actually using the AD account (often combined with the computer migration) 3. migrate the servers and any other workstations to AD Usually the order of workstation or servers is not important - this changes if you have a lot of trusts in your environment and need to ensure availability of specific trusted resources from other domains that have not been migrated yet. Suddenly the order can become important again. So maybe you want to enlighten us a little about your environment, such as trusts between your domains, usage of SidHistory for account/group migration, usage of local profiles/roaming profiles on workstations, terminal servers, tools you're using for the migration etc. /Guido -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Strongosky Sent: Mittwoch, 21.

I think we should do servers first then workstation's. Could I have your thoughts on this.
