Moving users from server 2k to sbs 2003.

We have a network that is currently running server Win 2k. We have purchased a SBS 2003 box and would like help moving users over from one to the other. They will be running seperate Domains on the same subnet. The firewall will be handling DHCP for both. I need to be able to run both at the same time because the move will be gradual. Is this possible to do? If so How?

As you can have only one domain controller in a SBS 2003 domain and you cannot create trust relationships with other domains I guess there is no straight forward solution for your problem.

But the LDIFDE tool should help you to get the user accounts over to the new domain:

Hope this helps.

Kirschi is correct, you can't create a Trust, so you can't Migrate users. There would also be name resolution problems if you wanted to use the same domain name.

Once everyone is moved off of the w 2k server it will be taken out of service. Would I need to create a trust in the interim?

If all of the users had the same credentials on both domains, could I create a login script on the new SBS 2003 box that would use ip addresses to map to the old w 2k folders? Once everyone is moved over I could move all of the folders over and then change the login script to point to the new server?
