Hi,

I am consolidating 2 domains. One 2003 and the other 2000. The 2000 domain
has 3 servers and 7 workstations. I plan to decomission the sole DC on the
2000 domain, and add the 7 workstations to the 2003 domain. My main concern
is migrating the 2000 domain member servers to the 2003 domain. One of the
member servers is a file sersver and and the the other runs financial
information w/ SQL backend. I realize ADMT is supposed to take care of
profile changes but I have had disastrous domain to domain profile
transitions because the original profile gets overwritten and a roll back can
not be performed. Is there another way even if it is manual? Also, if ADMT
is indeed hte best way to accomplish this do I install on the old or new
domain? If old since it is 2000 it has to be ADMT 2, correct?

THanks!

Hi
You could setup some Virtual machines and test the Profile migration and
Database migration.

I hope that the information above helps you.
Have a Nice day.
