From one domain to another....

If I have 2 domain files with different sites in each, Is it possible to copy site A from Domain A to Domain B?
I know the short answer is no, but is there peerhaps a long answer...?
cheers,
s

There was a time, and it was quite some time ago when something similar was tried and it didn't meet with much success. Sure, it may not have been Domain files, it may have been something more like, say, rocks, but the general principle still applies. If you look at the XML and media parts that make up a Domain file, you can think of those pieces as analogous to the atoms in your average run-of-the-mill rock. Though the atoms in two given average run-of-the-mill rocks may seem quite similar, and cracking them open reveals innards that are almost entirely, but not quite, the same, it's still quite difficult to make one whole rock out of the two.
Now, some say alchemists might be able to accomplish this quite daunting task, but, until a study of use for Domain files (perhaps XMLchemy?) is initiated and studied most earnestly, we shall probably remain unable to bring about the union of one Domain file and another. Or were we talking about the rocks? (You can't melt Domain files, can you? The thought just hit me is all...)
How's that for a long answer?

Powershell Copy User Description from one Domain to another in one Forest

Hi.
I would like to copy the Description field from one domain to another domain in the same forest.
First I would like to get the following data from source domain
- SamAccountName
- Description
- Office
- Job Title
- Department
- Manager
I would like to get these informations to a txt-file. That I can manage myself, I think.
These values shoud then be set on the destination domain - and here my powershell skills are not suffecient. How do I add these values from txt-file to existing users? (if some users aren't there, the script should continue)....
I can Get-AdUser -Identity xxx -Server sourcedomain and Get-AdUser -Identity xxx -Server destinationdomain from the same powershell windows.
Regards

Hi. Thank you very much for helping me out. I tried the above script and added in additional properties.
When I run the script, I only get one line in my csv-file, the Office-field is empty and all items appear on screen instead of output to file.
The script looks as follows:
$ou = [adsi] "LDAP:<Server>"
$searcher = New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher $ou
$searcher.Filter = 'objectClass=user'
$result = $searcher.FindAll()
foreach($contacts in $result)
$contact = $contacts.GetDirectoryEntry()
$contact | Select-Object -Property @{Name="SamAccountName";Expression={$_.SamAccountName}},
           @{Name="Description";Expression={$_.Description}},
           @{Name="Office";Expression={$_.Office}},
           @{Name="Title";Expression={$_.Title}},
           @{Name="Department";Expression={$_.Department}},
           @{Name="Manager";Expression={$_.Manager}}
$contacts | Export-Csv -Path output.csv

How to migrate Distribution list from one domain to another within same forest

team,
we are in the process of migrating all users mailbox, DL and contacts from one domain to another within a same forest.
can some one please let me know how can we migrate them without loosing the group membership and exchange attributes.
Kindly help.
Srinivasa K

I ran all of them
First Command , it works very well and its removed the exchange attribute
$DomCtrlr = (Dir env:Log*).Value.Replace('\','')
Get-MailContact -OrganizationalUnit Contacts -DomainController $DomCtrlr | Export-Csv E:\MailContacts.csv
Get-Contact -OrganizationalUnit Contacts -DomainController $DomCtrlr | Export-Csv E:\UserContacts.csv
Import-Csv MailContacts.csv | Disable-MailContact -DomainController $DomCtrlr
Second command
$DomCtrlr = "DCNAME"
$MailContacts = Import-Csv E:\MailContacts.csv
$UserContacts = Import-Csv E:\UserContacts.csv
after running the above command, I copied below on note pad and saved as .PS1 , as per your advise I make sure that starting with new-mailcontact and below 2 are is same line and Executed the ps1 script.
Scipt rans but didnt give me any error mesage.
ForEach ($Contact in $MailContacts) {
    $UserContacts | ? { $_.SamAccountName -eq $Contact.Alias } | % {
        New-MailContact -DomainController $DomCtrlr -LastName $_.LastName -FirstName $_.FirstName -Alias $_.SamAccountName -DisplayName $_.DisplayName -Name $_.Name -ExternalEmailAddress $Contact.ExternalEmailAddress -OrganizationalUnit
Test_con }
By Running
$MailContacts : it provided the stored value for users
$UserContacts: it
provided the stored value for users
after runing below in single notepad as .ps1 , not getting error message , but its not giving any
output nor error.
suspecting something needs to b checked on for loop
ForEach ($Contact in $MailContacts) {
    $UserContacts | ? { $_.SamAccountName -eq $Contact.Alias } | % {
        $_
Hope this explained clearly.

AD Migration from one domain to another domain between different Forest.

Dear Team,
We have a domain named "test.gov.in" .Now we want migrate all the users,computers,groups,GP ....etc in to our new domain "abc.net".Operating system of the source DC and destination Dc is same (Windows 2003 32 bit)..
Pls provide me the steps to migrate one domain to another domain between different forest
Thanks
Anurag

Would agree with Christoffer and migrate using ADFS but before you can do this you will need to set up a trust between the two domains. Once this has been accomplished then you can run ADMT.

Exchange Migration from One domain to another domain on same forest

Team,
we are in the process of migrating exchange infrastructure from one child domain to another child domain within same forest.
root domain - root.com
child domains - US.root.com and EMEA.root.com
EMEA and US Domains setup are different from each other. Like EMEA has different email address policy , Email Flow than US , connectors etc.
Now we need to migrate all emea users under US Domain. based on the geographical locations, we are building a new dc, mailbox , cas servers on EMEA location , but these servers will be part of US Domain.
for CAS Servers - we are planing to register respective sites ( site affinity), so all the local requests will be handled by new cas server which is built under US Domain.
Mailbox Servers - we would be creating new db's and the limits on new mbx server and going to replicate as its on EMEA Mailbox server.
can some one please let us know what are the precautions , recommendation, sequence which we need to follow to perform smoother migration. as of now , I can think of below topics.
Mailbox Migration -I Have a script , which
will take care of mailbox movement once the objects are being moved.
Contacts Migration - Willard Martin blog helped me to perform migration
DL Migration - I believe there is no mechanism to migrate DL. only option is to recreate.
Email address Policy:we would be creating a new address policy and apply to OU's
DB Consistency check – do we have to perform the health checks on source mailbox server to see , the servers are free from errors /corruption.
Check outlook configuration - After the migration, we need to check and see , the exchange server/ auto discover works and identify the new exchange servers.
Internal /External Email flow.-
Active Sybc , OWA
Public folder Migration -
Offline Address Book
Certificates
any help or suggestions would be great.

Hi Srinivasa,
According to your description, I think you have done all the preparation.
For DL migration, the following article may give your some hints:

EJB call from one domain to another, authentication problem

Two Weblogic servers. WLS A and WLS B. Different domains. Trust relationship between the domains can't be established.
I have an EJB in WLS B and there is a Web Application deployed to WLS A. There are method-permission declarations in the EJB descriptor xml.
Step 1. User authenticates to Servlet in Web Application (WLS A). Authentication is done with Http Basic Authentication.
Step 2. Servlet makes a JNDI lookup to get a handle to the EJB. Handle can not be fetched with the authentication information which was provided by user to servlet. This means that I need to specify a different username and password, which should be used for authentication at WLS B.
Step 3. After getting a handle to the EJB Servlet calls a method of the EJB.
Everything seems extremely simple. And it should be. But no.
At step 2 servlet propagates authentication information from WLS A to WLS B. This authentication information is valid only inside WLS A, not in WLS B. Result: SecurityException: Invalid Subject.
Setting SECURITY_PRINCIPAL and SECURITY_CREDENTIALS to InitialContext while creating it still results in propagation of authentication information. Same exception.
So I tried something else.
Tthe code doing the JNDI lookups and EJB calls was wrapped inside Security.runAs(new Subject(), ....) -block. Authentication information is no longer propagated to WLS B. So JNDI lookup succeeds, excellent!
But we only got one step further. Now we still need to make the call to EJB method at step 3.
Now that EJB method call results in Security Violation: User: <anonymous> has insufficient permission to access my method.
It's a bit strange, because username and password (for WLS B) were provided for InitialContext while creating it. If the password is invalid, the InitialContext can't be created. So it seems that atleast the username and password ARE checked at WLS B.
Any help and/or suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Here is a misc list of some misc wondering:
-Step 2. Should we make the JNDI lookup to JNDI tree of WLS A instead of WLS B. If we do so, then we should use ejb-ref's at web.xml. This was also quickly tested with no results.
-Would run-as-identity (or some similar element) help? Maybe we could set up some Credential Mapper to WLS A, which would provide username/password when making calls to EJB's of WLS B. Documentation about Credential Mappers seems to be quite useless.

There was a time, and it was quite some time ago when something similar was tried and it didn't meet with much success. Sure, it may not have been Domain files, it may have been something more like, say, rocks, but the general principle still applies.

File associations are lost when user account is migrated from one domain to another domain (SID changes)

Hello,
Currently we are in the middle of a migration project. We are migrating users from child domains to the root domain of one organization.
The user accounts are migrated with powershell using Move-ADObject cmdlet. This works as expected. The SIDHistory attribute is updated correctly.
Recently we received complaints from some *migrated* users - they lost their default/custom file associations. This happens only on Windows 8/Windows 8.1.
What happens:
the user is migrated and logs on
her profile loads and everything's preserved (as expected)
the user clicks on a .jpeg file (previously associated with program XYZ)
OS asks the user to choose a program to open the file with
the user chooses a default program XYZ and the file opens
when the user clicks on a .jpeg file again - OS asks to choose a program again
i.e. the settings are not preserved.
Our investigation shows that it is connected with the UserChoice registry key and the HASH value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.SomeExt
According to this blog
the HASH is calculated based on user's SID. But after the migration the user has new SID and the HASH becomes invalid and we hit this:
"However In Win 8, the registry changes are verified by a hash (unique per user and app) that detects tampering by apps. In the absence of a valid hash, we ignore the default in the registry."
Currently deleting the UserChoice key for all associations solves the problem. But the user has to make all her customizations again which is undesirable.
Is there any supported way to fix this? Why the OS doesn't update the HASH after the first logon when the SID has changed as it updates the SID for the ProfileList key?
This could become big issue in large migrations.

Hello Petar K. Georgiev,
Please check the following article to change the registry key to change back to the default file type associations.

Moving Folder Redirect from one Domain to Another on Different Servers

We are in the process of putting in a new server; Win Server 2008 R2, and creating a new domain for a client. We need to move the folder redirect from the current server (server1.currentdomain) to the new server on the new domain (server2.newdomain). We
want to keep the UNC on the client PC's the same. The SAM file will be rewritten.
What is the best way to go about this?
What potential security/rights issues can we prepare for?
Thanks.

Hi,
As you said the NTFS permission could be an issue if we move Folder Redirection to another domain.
Generally users should be the owner of their own redirected folders. However as folders are moved to a different domain, all permissions for user accounts in old domain will not be recognized.
In this situation you can try to set folder redirection policy in new domain first so that folders will be created - remember uncheck the settings of "Grant the user exclusive rights" so that domain admins still have permissions on these folders.
Then you can copy files from old server "into" these created folders.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

I have migrated a user's mysite in sharepoint 2013 from one domain to another.The issue is that old activtiy data i.e newsfeed data is not seen

For eg :
I had a user called domain1\user1 whose mysite was created as http://my/personal/user1.
Now this user moves to another domain say domain2\user1.Since mysite is already present no new mysite will be created.
Move-SPUser –Identity "domain1\user1" –NewAlias "domain2\user1"After executing the above query,user is migrated and is able to login to the mysite.But the newsfeed data is not seen.I can see it in the microfeed list but not in the newsfeed page.All other data like documents ,tags,people etc is present
harsh damania

it should move all the profile data alonwith, i would check the ULS logs for any clue.
also make sure following timer jobs ran successfully
User Profile service application name - User Profile to SharePoint Quick Synchronization
User Profile service application name - Feed Cache Repopulation
User Profile service application name - Activity Feed Job

Migrating users from one domain to another(Interforest)

Scenario- Two Domains A & B in two different forests.
A - holds exchange server in DMZ and 2 domain controllers in A used by exchange also in DMZ
B holds all users and computers and 2 Domain controllers used for authentication .
Now I want to migrate all users and computers in B domain to A domain using ADMT
My question here is
1. Can I use the DCs used by exchange to authenticate if I migrate users and computers from B to A.
2. If not what is the work around here. I want to build an action plan on this.

After the migration users will be in Domain A. Authentication will happen locally in Domain A using Domain A DCs. Make sure you have correct DNS server (DNS from domain A) for these workstations.

Why do we need a disabled AD object prior to migrating user from one domain to another.

Say i am migrating a user 'Mr.A' mailbox from abc.com to xyz.com in exchange 2010 environemnt, why do i need a disabled AD object for Mr. A in xyz.com prior to migrating ? please suggest.
Aditya Mediratta

Hi ,
To be frank i am not aware of quest but i can suggest you in ADMT and also in exchange cross forest migration.
I hope you are doing the cross forest migration from exchange forest to exchange forest , so on such case by using the prepare-moverequest.ps1 we can have
only have the disabled MEU on the target exchange forest until the remaining attributes of the user object was migrated from ADMT.
While running the prepare-moverequest.ps1 it will not completely move all the active directory user attributes from the source forest to the target forest
but it will move all the exchange attributes to the target forest and finally it will make the MEU object in the disabled state. Since
all the exchange attributes are already migrated to the target forest ,so prior to use ADMT user account migration we need to exclude the exchange attributes
by running the script on the ADMT server .After doing so exchange attributes will not be migrated but the required user attributes will be migrated to make the MEU to the enabled state.

Moving domain name from one plan to another

Hi guys,
I am about to go live with my new partner site - hopefully today. However since there was no practical way to redo the free partner site - I decided I would just upgrade to a paid account.
So my question is, as I will have to move my domain names over is the proper procedure to delete them from the current site and then add them to the new site?
What will happen to the email in between?
Is there any other unforeseen issues that might arise?

Hi Sidney,
According to Level 2 tech support we cannot move domains set to our partner domain if the site is rebranded. It will stop all other sites created with it from working.
Response to case # 183389606
The reason why you cannot add this domain - auroratec.ca to another site is because this domain is your rebranding domain and even though you have remove it from your partner site - Auroratec Business Solutions the DNS zone will not be deleted. This is because you have sites created using your rebranding domain e.g. woodlandjewellers.auroratec.ca
In this case what I suggest here is to Brad is to re-add the domain to your partner site (by adding A Records instead of adding the New Domain) and if you need to change the content of your partner site simply use a FTP client to migrate the content from one site to another.
Please note that the rebranding domain cannot be removed from the system so it can be used only in the partner site.
So what I have done is added the domain back again using A records and set up a redirect to the new site with a new domain untill I can change all my business cards, advertising, vehicle graphics etc to the new domain name. It will all work out in the end - not ideal but I'll live with it. Prateek in support was very helpful and thorough.

Move a single Public Folder from one server to another cross-domain

Hi, I need to move specific Public Folders from a database on Exch2007 to a database on Exch2010. These are 2 separate domains and are already set up with their respective Public folder databases. I have a customer requirement to move from one domain to
the other. All mailboxes are moved, I just need to move their Public Folders. What is the easiest way to carry out this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can take PST of public folder from source forest and import PST on target forest from Outlook client.
Then you can use ExFolders to export and import PF permissions.

Adding Data From One Table to Another

Now, this doesn't strike me as a particularly complex problem, but I've either strayed outside the domain of Numbers or I'm just not looking at the problem from the right angle. In any case, I'm sure you guys can offer some insight.
What I'm trying to do is, essentially, move data from one table to another. One table is a calendar, a simple two column 'date/task to be completed' affair, the other is a schedule of jogging workouts, i.e, times, distances. Basically, I'm trying to create a formula that copies data from the second table onto the first but only for odd days of the week, excepting Sundays (and assuming Monday as the start of the week). Now, this isn't the hard part, I can do that. The problem comes when I replicate the formula down the calendar. Even on the days when the 'if' statement identifies it as an 'even day', the cell reference to the appropriate workout on the second table is incremented, so when it comes to the next 'odd day', it has skipped a workout.
I can't seem to see any way of getting it to specifically copy the NEXT line in the second table, and not the corresponding line.
This began as a distraction to try and organise my running so I could see at a glance what I had to do that day and track my progress, but now it's turned into an obsession. SURELY there's a solution?
Cheers.

Hi Sealatron,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Numbers '09 forum.
Several possible ways to move the data occur to me, but the devil's in the details of how the data is currently arranged.
Is it
• a list of three workouts, one for each of Monday, Wednesday and Friday, then the same three repeated the following week?
• an open-ended list that does not repeat?
• something else?
Regards,
Barry
