Moving users to a new domain is a real pain.\u00a0 If the computers join a new domain, the users get spiffy new profiles.\u00a0 Their old profiles may not be accessible.\u00a0 That does not make users happy.<\/p>\n
Another way is to use the Active Migration Tool. This tool enables you to migrate user objects (user accounts and groups), computer objects to the new domain.\u00a0 Very useful when the company is splitting up, going through a divorce.<\/p>\n
The users get to keep the profiles, the file server permissions remain intact.\u00a0 Note ADMT has a 90% success rate for computer migration.<\/p>\n
The only problem is selling it to the users that everything was migrated over and nothing was left behind!<\/p>\n

If the migration fails, login to the user computer as local admin.\u00a0 Check the computer properties for the domain name.\u00a0 If it is on the old domain, reset the computer account and rejoin the old domain.\u00a0 Redo the migration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
