ADMT 2.0 migrates SID history. Why do you have a preference for 3.0?
ADMT 3.0 installs its own MSDE (SQL server lite) instance. I wasn't happy
to see that.

Ah! An important piece of information. If you need sidhistory, then yes, I
would use ADMT (3.0 though, not 2.0).
The script center at MS has bunches of examples of creating users and
linking to both A/D and WinNT domains. A great book is

What about ADMT 2.0 for migrating the accounts?
There will be a small period of 'Co-existence' between the other domains and
the new child domain. I assume that it ADMT will migrate the SID history so
that the user can access services/applications on both networks until all
apps have been moved to the new domain.
Can you point me to any scripts that can be used. If not, no biggie.
Thanks,
Chris

I guess my opinion is: it depends.
What information do you want from the old networks? Just account names and
usernames?
If so, personally, I would write a script and not go through the hassle of
installing and configuring the other things.
Otherwise, it would depend on what I needed as to what tool I would use.

Subject: [exchangelist] Exchange 2003 and integration of new Child domain
Hello all,
Looking for some opinions here.
Brief description of network:
Currently, I have just completed the upgrade from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange
2003 for our North America offices/domain. Our setup is one forest, with 3
child domains - all a part of the same exchange organization.
Tasks upcoming:
Our EMEA divisions are all running separate domains (mixture of NT 4.0 and
Win2000 AD and Linux). There are approximately 7 separate domains, all
operating under their own namespace with various e-mail systems.
To bring our organization 'together', we are planning a hub in the
Netherlands that will be a child domain in our forest. In this new child
domain, we will install an Exchange 2003 cluster that will be a member of
our organization. They will continue to use their individual domains (ex.
@gk.nl, @gk.uk, @gk.ie) based on routing groups and Recipient Policies.
We will NOT be upgrading existing systems or mail environments. The network
will be strictly Windows 2003 AD. The users will start with new mailboxes
and their local IT staff will be responsible for archiving e-mail content to
PST files or use Exmerge where possible.
We plan to create OU's per country and delegate administrative rights that
way.
Once the new child domain is setup in the Netherlands, we can create trusts
to the existing domains so that we can use tools for migration.
My question:
What tool(s) do you recommend for importing/creating the user accounts from
the current domains into the new child domain?
My goal is to prevent having to create the accounts individually in their
respective OU's.
Should I use the Inter-organizational tools, ADC, mixture of both, or
something else?
Thanks for your opinions and expertise.
