User Transfer to new Domain

Asked by roamingllama in Microsoft Server, Windows 2003 Server, Active Directory

Tags: domain, new, transfer, users

We currently have an AD domain that has right around 95 users.  I am completely overhauling the entire network (New Blade Servers, 2.5 TB SAN, Fiber Interconnects...the works..over $200,000 in new equipment).  The domain was originally a 2000 domain and was upgraded to a 2003 domain.  I am creating a new domain with the new equipment (the old one has all sorts of little issues in it).  I have creted a trust between the 2 domain so that during the transition Users can access data and applications on the new servers as well as the old.  My question is this:

Is there an easy (or not terribly difficult way to transfer the Users from the old domain to the new one?  I really dont want to waste time re-creating all of the users if I dont have too.Start Free Trial
