Migrating Windows NT to Windows Server 2003 Domain

[blure007]

I have done some research and was wondering if anyone has done this first hand and what their experience was. We will be bringing up a new server up for this and not an in place upgrade. From what I have read it seem simple with the ADMT but any tips or heads up would be great. TIA

simple? ya, right... Even building a proper AD system with all the policies and such that you can setup, it is far from simple.

Migrating from NT requires a ton of prep work. I know we've been "thinking" about it for a few years now at the school I work for and nobody wants to put in the effort required to do it right the first time... SO here we are still sitting on an a NT domain...

Hopefully someone who has actually done the work can respond to your question since I don't know enough details to help much.

how many users?

if its not that many then screw the migration, start from scratch 😛

93 users total. It wouldn't be that bad but the permissions here are pritty messy.
