How to migrate printers and file servers (with a large amount of data) from NT 4 to a different 2003 domain?

Asked by Tacobell2000 in Windows 2003 Server

Tags: , , ,

Hello,

I've been interviewed by a couple of people of a consulting agency about an NT4.0 print and file server migration to a Windows 2003 AD infrastructure. My résumé states clearly that I've done 3 migrations one of which was 40 server migration (print and file server only) from NT 4 to Windows 2003. The other 2 were small 6 server migrations from NT 4 to Windows 2003 AD. Because I wanted the contract and I feel ready and highly motivated to do this, I bullshitted about the big server migration. This never happened. Lo and behold I got a call this morning from the consulting company with great news! I got the contract and I will start on the 6th of January 2007. The migration should not take longer than 3 months. If I take longer they will not pay me beyond the 6th of April 2007. They will not pay overtime as well. I have 37,5 hours a week for 3 months to do this.
The job consists of migrating (do not have the complete details yet) lots of printers and a huge amount of data. I will assume since the contract is for a hospital that there might be 400 printers and many terabytes of data. Downtime is unacceptable and the site never closes. My question is how do i go about doing this? I've read about Microsoft print migrator and File server migrator and I feel comfortable using the tools. I simply do not know how to go about migrating data to another server with a different name in a different domain while users are putting data on the old sever and accessing and changing files 24 hours a day 7 days a week. How can i do this with no downtime and still keep all data up to date?

Any suggestions?
