Hi together. I have a problem with merging two Windows 2000 domains into one
domain:

There is a domain top.com and a second domain sub.top.com in the same
tree.

I´d like to move all users, groups and computers from sub.top.com to
top.com.
I tried the ADMT, but without luck - in documentation I found that ADMT does
only work when moveing objects between two domains in two forests - I cannot
believe it - ??

Has anyone an idea ?

Thanks
Guenther
 
Guenther,

ADMT v2 ist genau das Tool fuer Dich!

ADMT v2 requires that the Destination Domain ( top.com in your situation )
be in WIN2000 Native Mode. If you look at the Help on the Server ( or
whereever you have installed ADMT ) you should find that there are
instructions for both Intra-Forest Migration as well as for Inter-Forest
Migration scenarios. Ich weiss ja nicht, wie das bei der deutchen Version
aussieht!

HTH and mfg,

Cary

have you completed this migration from sub.top.com to
top.com yet? if so, i would like to know about your
experience as i am interested to doing the reverse going
from top.com to sub.top.com? do you run exchange also?
what is implication to Exchange/AD integration? thanks.
 
You would do the same thing - only in the reverse. You would need to create
the sub-domain ( sub.top.com ), don't forget to delegate the DNS, and then
use ADMT v2 to bring the desired user, group and computer account objects
from top.com to sub.top.com.....Just make sure that sub.top.com is in Native
Mode...

Here I´m again - I posted the case at first.

I did not succeed with ADMT because of an error "ACCESS DEBIED" from the
client.

The Administrator account in top.com does not have enough rights /
permissions to administrate the client workstation in sub.top.com. It worked
better, when I added the top.com Adminstrator account to the workstation´s
Administrators group. But I think that should not be neccessary - I really
dont´t want to add that account to each workstation that has to be migrated.

In additon, after migration that account - there is still the problem that
the workstaion could not login in top.com - no computer account - ??

Besides .. can I migrate computer accounts when the machine that is going
to be migrated is shut down ?

Best regartd

Sorry - I forgot one question: what did you mean woth "don´t forget DNS
delegate" ? In my test environment all DNS entries oder changes have been
made by dcpromo when setting up the DC for sub.top.com.
