Web and email hosting - Part 3: Windows Server 2003 Upgrades and Migrations
Part 3: Windows Server 2003 Upgrades and Migrations Migrating to Windows Server 2003 9 Exclude object properties When migrating a Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 domain, you can include or exclude the properties of the user objects during the migration. By default, all properties for user objects (user and InetOrgPerson in Windows Server 2003) are included. 10 Manage naming conflicts Configuring how the naming conflicts are managed lets you specify how user accounts are migrated. You can select the Ignore Conflicting Accounts And Don t Migrate option, or you can opt to replace or rename migrated user accounts. If you select the Replace Conflicting Accounts option, you have three choices: You can select the Remove Existing User Rights option, which instructs the wizard to remove any rights assigned to the user account in the destination domain that the user didn t have in the source domain. You can select the Remove Existing Members Of Groups Being Replaced option to make the destination group membership match the source group membership. You can select the Move Replaced Accounts To The Specified Target Organizational Unit option, which instructs the wizard to overwrite the user account information in the destination domain with the information from the source domain. By selecting the Rename Conflicting Accounts By Adding The Following option, you can rename the user accounts by adding a prefix or suffix to the source domain user account name. Next, the user migration information is summarized. Verify that the migration is configured the way you intend before you click Finish to begin the migration. If you are running in Test mode, verify that the line Changes Will Not Be Written is present. This line indicates that this migration is running in Test mode and will not actually perform the requested changes. When the migration is complete, summary totals are shown and you can review the migration log list of every user and group account migrated, including a description of the action taken or related warning/error message. This log is located in the Program FilesActive Directory Migration ToolLogs folder and is named Migration.log (previous Migration.log files are renamed as Migration 0001.log, Migration 0002.log, etc.). Especially if you have migration errors, you should review the migration log file and the audit information by using Event Viewer to assess the overall success of the user account migration. Migrating Passwords ADMT supports the migration of user passwords; however, it requires a bit of setup on the source and destination domain controllers. Evaluate the password policy on the destination domain and determine whether the passwords in the user and service accounts that you re going to migrate meet the minimum password requirements for the new domain. If migrated user accounts don t meet the minimum requirements, users will be required to change their passwords at the next logon. Chapter 9
