Part 3: Windows Server 2003 Upgrades and Migrations Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Inside Out Tip You must move any domain local groups in Windows 2000 that are referenced by security descriptors in the source domain controller prior to migrating the server to the destination domain. Migrating Global Groups Migrating groups prior to migrating users from one domain to another is a good idea. Global groups are restricted to having members that exist within the (current) domain. As a result, if you migrate users from a source domain to a destination domain and groups have not yet been migrated, the migrated users cannot be part of a group that is in the source domain. They can be part of a group only in the destination domain; thus, they cannot be part of their original group. Once the groups are migrated, group membership will be restored, yet it leaves a window of opportunity for users to attempt to log on prior to the group membership being reconstructed. Migrating the global groups from the source domain to the destination domain prior to migrating the users creates the corresponding groups in the destination domain and provides for continuity of group membership throughout the migration process. As in the migration of users, when the groups are migrated to the destination domain, they receive the SID from the new domain, and the SID from the source domain is appended to the SID history for the group. Chapter 9 Tip Windows 2000 global groups migrate as universal Migrating global groups from a Windows 2000 Native-mode domain results in those groups being established in the destination domain as universal groups (this is done to support members from the Windows 2000 domain that have yet to be migrated). Using the Group Account Migration Wizard To migrate the global group accounts (and optionally the users they contain), run the Group Account Migration Wizard on the Action menu in ADMT. The migration process for group accounts follows these steps: 1 Choose whether to migrate or test The Group Account Migration Wizard starts by letting you choose whether you simply want to test the effects of migrating to groups (as ADMT is currently configured). As shown in the screen on the following page, both the Test The Migration Settings And Migrate Later option and the Migrate Now option are available if you have not yet run a migration test on migrating the global groups, you should do this prior to selecting the Migrate Now option. 260
