How to Set Up ADMT for a Windows
2000 to Windows Server 2003 Migration
You can
install the Active Directory Migration Tool version 2 (ADMTv2) on
any computer that is running Windows 2000 or later, including:
-
Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
-
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
-
Microsoft Windows XP Professional
-
Microsoft Windows Server 2003
The
computer on which you install ADMTv2 must be a member of either the
source or the target domain.
Intraforest Migration
Intraforest migration does not require any special domain
configuration. The account you use to run ADMT must have enough
permissions to perform the actions that are requested by ADMT. For
example, the account must have the right to delete accounts in the
source domain, and to create accounts in the target domain.
Intraforest migration is a move operation instead of a copy
operation. These migrations are said to be destructive because after
the move, the migrated objects no longer exist in the source domain.
Because the object is moved instead of copied, some actions that are
optional in interforest migrations occur automatically.
Specifically, the sIDHistory and password are automatically migrated
during all intraforest migrations.
