Active Directory Migration

I was wondering if anyone knew right off hand if you can migrate an account that was create on the mac by being bound to one domain to another domain?
The reason I ask is we are moving to a new domain name/tree and once i change that binding I can no longer log into the system.

The User folder was created on the local Mac and the domain was activated on the new domain.
When I bind to the new domain i cannot log into the "old" profile anymore until i would switch the domain back over.

Active Directory Migration from 2003 to 2012 Process Flow

We are planning to migrate from Windows Server 2003 AD to Windows server 2012 Server for 6000 Users,
Can any one suggest on Following .
1)What is the Best and Safe Way to do Migration
2) What are the Precautions should take,
3) How much downtime it will take,
4) If migration Failed how we can revert to Earlier
5) How to do Migration Step by Step
Current Environment:
Domain Having One PDC(server 2003 R2) and 8 ADC(Server 2003 R2) in Different Locations
PDC having All FSMO Roles and Global Catalog
Exchange server 2007 was integrated to Active Directory
And some Application are integrated to Active Directory

1) I would recommend you first run a test of the steps in test before you do this in production. Otherwise your production becomes test.
2) By doing in test, you have taken a large amount of the risk out of the upgrade since, in test you should be able to look for any unforseen issues. The easiest way to test is to build a virtual fence from production and clone the DC's and member
servers that you want to test against (This is assuming you are running in a virtual environment). Ensure that you production environment is error free.
http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/paulbergson/archive/2009/01/26/troubleshooting-active-directory-issues.aspx
3) There should be no downtime at all, you can just extend the schema and then promote a new 2012 DC (I would recommend R2 if you can).
4) Before you do the schema extension you should take 2 backups on two different DC's. Taking two gives you less of a chance of a problem if one of the backups fails.
5)
Take a backup
Extend the schema
Join the 2012 R2 servers to the domain
Add the ADDS role to the 2012 R2 member servers
Promote the 2012 R2 DC's
Transfer the FSMO roles to the 2012 R2 DC's (Not required but recommended)
If you want to retire the 2003 DC's, then you will need to make sure that any clients pointing to the 2003 DC's for DNS are pointing to other DC's.
If you do retire the 2003 then you can think about updating the DFL and FFL of the domain and forest.

Active Directory migration from domain X to Y

Hey Guys
Planning to migrate Child domain to another child domain inter forest with ADMT
we do have a small environment with Active directory integrated DNS, I do have a rough knowledge of migrating domains but still if there is any checklist kind of thing on priority (i.e migrate users first then do groups then computers then GPO) and let me
know how much time it will take for 500 users 800 machines and 400 groups approximately .
We do not have techinical Architecture guys to plan up , Please list out any excel sheets for migration if any
Went through n number of blogs but still did not get any proper info about this , Thank you in advance

SBS 2008 to Server 2012 R2 Active Directory Migration

Is there a tool that i can use to migrate Active Directory from SBS 2008 to Server 2012 R2?

There is no special tool for your situation. While there is a tool called ADMT that you may see mentioned if you search enough, it isn't really well suited for what you want.
With that said, there is also no *need* for a tool as I've already said. Nor do you need to recreate the users and have mismatched SIDs. You will add the 2012 machine to your existing domain and make it a domain controller. Yes, that means you will have
two DCs (for a time.) This is how larger organizations handle multiple DCs all the time, and they obviously don't go and create the same user on each DC. That is where the domain replication comes in. Your new server will be a DC and will replicate
all of the users *and* SIDs from the existing SBS server.
Then, when you are ready, you decommission the SBS 2008 server gracefully and the new 2012 server becomes your sole DC, but has AD completely intact. It is a tried and true practice, both within and outside of the SBS world, and has been done many many times.

Active directory migration , profile migration using admt

Hi,
I have request to migrate the users using admt tool, where profile avg size is 100 mb. how much approx time it should take.. considering below
1. if profile is local or roaming , does it make any difference in time taken
2. size of profile is 10 mb and 100 mb, should i assume assume it should take 10 time more time?
3. what are the other parameters can affect time taken for migration
thanks

I think what you need to use is User State Migration Toolkit (USMT), ADMT is used for migration of domain accounts and from the way I am reading this it sounds like you are trying to migrate profiles on a desktop.

Active Directory Migration Tool Moving Users before groups?

How are permissions to resources granted? By user or by group?
It's been so long I can't actually remember, but I think we moved users and groups together.
The SIDs will change if things are moving to a new domain. But the migration tool handles that for you.

What are the draw backs of migration users before groups in a interdomain migration? if any

Active Directory Migration Tool Issue

Hi,
I am currently doing a pilot to migrate users from a Windows Server 2003 Forest (2000 FFL, 2003 DFL) into Windows Server 2008 R2 (2008R2 FFL, 2008R2 DFL).
There is an External Trust setup between the 2 forests.
Having successfully migrated some test users and groups from Source to Target domain, I am able to access resources on a file server located in the Source domain (due to SID history being migrated along with SID Filtering being disabled)
My issue is that I want to now use the Security Translation Wizard to add the newly migrated users and groups to the Source File Servers ACLs, Registry etc.
ADMT is installed on a Target DC and when I run the Security Translation wizard it fails and the log shows the below...
Details for DC01.SourceDomain

Is/was AGPM installed on the server you ran the security translation
agent on?

Active Directory Cross Forest Domain Migration

Dear All,
We are in the process to rebuild new Active Directory infrastructure. Multiple single forest domains in organization which needs to be consolidated/migrated on single Active Directory Domain. For this consolidation, have some queries to be addressed before
going to start consolidation.
What is the best practices and what tool should we use for domain migration/consolidation
Active directory is on Windows 2003, forest and domain level is on Windows 2003, this will support to Windows 2012 R2 forest and domain functional level, will be migrated
directly from windows 2003 to windows 2012?
When move users to new domain, how will they access the other resources on the network. For e.g. Printer, File server, local web base application
After moving some computers to new domain would be possible to access remaining computers on old domain?
How the file server data will be moved? Best practices with NTFS folder permissions and users rights?
Is there any policy to register network printers on new Active Directory domain?
How users would be access web base application on new domain as their FQDN would be define with old domain name? Any option to change old domain FQDN with new domain that would be describe with any URL link?
Kindly give your valuable input to meet the desire result.
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Lucky,
Ya you can Migrate contents from multiple forest domain. Using ADMT (Active Directory Migration Tool)is the best way to migrate AD content. But you can't migrate from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 R2, cause in Windwos Server 2012 R2 don't
have the supportebility of Windows Sever 2003.And not only users you can also migrate all others info (i.e. Computer object info, groups info, Exchange mailbox info, security info).You can migrate users face by face, means which peoples are in old domain they
can access old domain and new users are in new domain.For more info please follow the given link:

New Server 2012 install - Active Directory not working properly

We recently converted from 2003 to 2012. Our 2012 R2 server seems to be running fine. We did a DCPROMO on the OLD 2003 DC just fine but now there are all sorts of odd errors (Sharepoint can't authenticate users, Can't run Exchange 2013 on another 2012 server
because it can't find AD, etc.)
on the DC we have a Group Policy error 1096. "Group Policy Object LDAP://CN=User,cn={2B476B3E-2749-4B1B-8EC1-F5672A66F94F},cn=policies,cn=system,DC=mydom,DC=local\\mydom.local\SysVol\mydom.local\Policies\{2B476B3E-2749-4B1B-8EC1-F5672A66F94F}\User\registry.pol"
So far I haven't found anything on how to fix this (and the AD itself.) There are some errors in the DCDIAG log, too:
      Starting test: NetLogons
         Unable to connect to the NETLOGON share! (\\ISD-DC1\netlogon)
         [ISD-DC1] An net use or LsaPolicy operation failed with error 67,
         The network name cannot be found..
Starting test: FrsEvent
         There are warning or error events within the last 24 hours after the
         SYSVOL has been shared. Failing SYSVOL replication problems may cause
         Group Policy problems.
Any suggestions how we can fix these errors are greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Did you migrate the Active Directory from Windows server 2003 to Windows server 2012?

Active Directory Services Can't Connect to Domain

I've been trying to debug errors one at a time, but I'm having a hard time finding any information that pertains to this issue as a whole. Anything you can tell me about this would be great, thank you for reading.

It was the only server in the network, the only dc in the old forest. When I re-installed ad ds I gave the new forest different name, but I guess the old settings are still in the system somewhere conflicting with the new setup? Is there a way to
purge the old setup entirely and start over with ad ds, or am I going to have to re-install the whole OS? Thanks again for the help.
Honestly, the best way to handle this is to rebuild the server. There are many things that are "left behind" when you remove the Domain / Forest from a Domain Controller. In fact many articles will say after using ADMT (active directory migration
tool) you should decommission the original Domain Controller (aka reinstall the OS).
While you could spend more time trying to get that domain controller working, it absolutely is going to be 1) More reliable 2) faster to reinstall the OS on the old domain controller. If you are still leveraging storage, or services on that domain controller,
you will want to back them up, or have a transition plan before reinstalling everything on the server. I have a feeling if you choose to keep troubleshooting this, you will run into more issues down the road.

Import and Export Active Directory users

Hello,
I want to export my Active Directory users and import them to different domain.
I try to use ldifde without any success.
Do anyone have any idea??
Thanks,
Lior

I would suggest the Active Directory Migration tool.

Active Directory domain migration with Exchange 2010, System Center 2012 R2 and File Servers

Greeting dear colleagues!
I got a task to migrate existing Active Directory domain to a new froest and a brand new domain.
I have a single domain with Forest/Domain level 2003 and two DC (2008 R2 and 2012 R2). My domain contains Exchange 2010 Organization, some System Center components (SCCM, SCOM, SCSM) and File Servers with mapped "My Documents" user folders. Domain
has about 1500 users/computers.
How do u think, is it realy possible to migrate such a domain to a new one with minimum downtime and user interruption? Maybe someone has already done something like that before? Please, write that here, i promise that i won't ask for instruction from you,
maybe only some small questions :)
Now I'm studying ADMT manual for sure.
Thanks in advance,
Dmitriy Titov

Hi Dmitriy,
I got a task to migrate existing Active Directory domain to a new froest and a brand new domain.
How do u think, is it realy possible to migrate such a domain to a new one with minimum downtime and user interruption?
As far as I know, during inter-forest migration, user and group objects are cloned rather than migrated, which means they can still access resources in the source forest, they can even access resources after the migration is completed. You can ask users
to switch domain as soon as the new domain is ready.
Therefore, there shouldn’t be a huge downtime/interruption.

How to migrate from existing Database Usermanagement to Active Directory?

Hello experts,
we are running a portal with more than 2000 users. So far our user management is done by the portal´s own identity management with the database as data source.
However for many reasons instead of the database we would like to use an existing company´s Active Directory (=AD) as a data source for identity management. That means that we would like only to use the AD-users and AD-groups in the portal.
All users who are in the portal´s database now you can find also in the existing company´s Active Directory. Luckily the users have the same ID both in the database and in the AD.
We know that the migration form the database to AD is a big issue since many portal objects depend on the existing structures. However because the IDs of users are identical in both systems we hope to finde a way to "override" the existing usermanagement data with the AD data without loosing the existing settings (e.g. KM-Permissions, user profiles etc.).
Generally I am asking you if you have had already experience with changing the user management´s datasource of an already "living" portal (several 1000 users) to Active Directory User Managent.
What problems can occour?
Which modifications need to be done?
Which portal´s objects are affected by the migration?
Is a migration possible at all?
I will appreciate all suggestions, remarks, ideas.
Thanks in advance.
Thomas

Hello experts,
the current permissions in the KM-Objects are based on both groups and users from database.
Because it is not possible to modify the Group´s Display Name in the portal´s database we would also like to use LDAP-Groups in the portal: All users and groups in the portal shall be managed by Active Directory in future.
In the Active Directory it is possible to modify the Display Name of groups. This is a necessary feature because of reorganisations of departments in our company which occur from time to time.
Creating new groups with the new department names is not an option because one has to assign all department members to the new group again. Otherwise one need to asign the new group to the ACLs of all KM objects in question. This is a too big deal.
However, thank you for that hint Michael.
Any other experiences?
I will appreciate any ideas, foreseen problems.

Migrating to new Active Directory Domain

Hey people,
I have a OSX Server here at a school which I need to move from an old Active Directory domain to a new one. We are having a restructure of our IT System and 90% of our equipment is PC but have a few macs on site for the specific tasks that we need them to do.
The OSX server was set-up 2yrs ago by some consultant which charged an arm and leg, so its up to me this time round to configure it. It is not a vital part of the IT system so a rebuild is possible, but the quicker it can moved across the better.
So my question is. Is it easier to "modify" the settings on the OSX Server to the new domain? i.e. change field names in Server Admin. or rebuild the server from scratch?
Our configuration is Apple clients authenticate to AD, but grab all their settings and OSX group membership from the OSX server. I have here a guide called "Leveraging Active Directory on OSX" would this be useful if I need to rebuild the server? I am fairly confident that I wont run into too many problems, but things like kerberos settings, etc may confuse me. Any help would be excellent!

Hi,
perform homogeneous system copy if you migrate from one server to other.
find document at service.sap.com/systemcopy
if you just add you local system to domain then look following
Domain name change for an existing SAP System

Problem migrating account from one active directory domain to another. Using NetBIOS

Hello,
I'm migrating a Lion machine from one domain to another. When I try to join it to abc.example.com it joines it to 123.example.com in the list of domains. 123.example.com is the NetBIOS name of abc.example.com. This configuration does not work.
What is even more strange, is if I go into the Open Directory Utility > Active Directory to set the create mobile account settings, once I apply the settings (or even if I don't apply the settings) when I get back to the list of domains, it show BOTH abc.example.com and 123.example.com as domains I am joined to. If I remove 123.example.com it removes abc.example.com.
I've only seen this problem one other time and this was with a snow leopard machine that was not bound to AD. I upgraded it to Lion and tried to bind it, and had the exact same thing occur.
I'm certain there is a "stuck" setting somewhere that is causing this. I have had successful snow leopard > lion upgrades work, and many lion machines joined to AD so this does work normally. Just not sure whats wrong or really where to look.
The OS is fully patched and updated to the current version.
Any thoughts?

Case 1:
Here you can written pre-update event handler which will check whether minor and major org code changed or not.
If changed then first starts de-provisioning and then start provisioning.
If not changed then do nothing.
This approach will not transfer accounts from one domain to another but it will create fresh accounts and remove accounts from old domain.
Case2:
If you want to transfer accounts from one domain to another in that on pre-update you have to change OU of user on process which automatically move to another domain.
but not sure about exchange it is possible to move to another domain.
hopping that all domains under same forest otherwise same Connector Sever will not work.
