Hello Community,

I’m having a few problems successfully migrating / translating workstations
(Windows 2000 Professional) local NT domain profiles across into a new AD
domain.

When I use :

admt.exe /computer /SD:NT_DOMAIN /TD:AD_DOMAIN /TO:TARGET_OU /TOT:Replace
/TFF:Yes /TLG:Yes /TPS:Yes /TRG:Yes /TSS:Yes /TUP:Yes /TUR:Yes

etc the workstation is successfully copied into the new domain and the local
user profiles are updated (for example NT_DOMAIN\user1 becomes
AD_DOMAIN\user1) however when the NT cloned 'user1' in the AD domain logs in
to the workstation an additional AD_DOMAIN\user1 profile is created and the
original user1 local profile and settings is lost… Using the ADMT MMC snap in
GUI the translation works fine!

Any Thoughts and comments would be appreciated!

Hi Mikey,

I assume the NT_DOMAIN\user1 becomes AD_DOMAIN\user1, when the user logon
to the new domain, what kind of folder the system will create for the user,
it is also AD_DOMAIN\user1 or something else?

What is the result if you only use the necessary parameter as addressed in
the following article?

Hi Rebecca,

Thanks for the reply!.

Yes, when 'user1' logs on a second AD_DOMAIN\user1 profile is created in
addition to the AD_DOMAIN\user1 that was updated during the admt.exe
/computer migration. - NT_DOMAIN\user1 no longer exists.

- I got my inital ADMT.EXE /computer command line switches from the
Depolyment guide / link you supplied.. however am confused why this isn't
working!

For a command line migration / translation of local computer profiles do you
have to also run admt.exe /security?

I'm obviously missing something somewhere as doing this from teh MMC GUI etc
works okay however this isn't how I want to play the actual live migration.

Arggh!

Mikey.

Hi Mike,

One point I would like to confirm is that have you ever logon to the new
domain on the client?

For example, I assume the following factors:
1. The user account is NT_DOMAIN\rebc, we migrate the user account to
AD_DOMAIN\rebc
2. The client account is NT_DOMAIN\rebcXP.

Have you use AD_DOMAIN\rebc to logon to the AD_DOMAIN on rebcXP client? If
so, the system will create a new user account for rebc. AD_DOMAIN. Then you
use the command to migrate the computer including the local user profile,
rebc will still use the new AD_DOMAIN\rebc profile.

Please try the folloiwng command, what is the result?

admt.exe security /n "rebcxp" /SD:DOMAIN /TD:win2k3dom /TOT:Replace
/TUP:Yes
