It features a simple interface with many customizable options:. After you've verified the functional level, I recommend taking some time to point all of the computers and servers involved toward a common set of WINS and DNS Servers.

This may sound a little strange at first, but you must remember that Windows domains are completely dependant on DNS. After the migration completes, you can remove all of the WINS references from the domain controllers in your Windows domain. Of course, removing DNS references from the servers in the Windows NT domain isn't even an issue, since you're doing away with that domain by migrating it into an existing Windows domain.

Rather than having to remove DNS references from those servers later on, you'll probably just reformat those servers and use them for something else. Establishing a trust relationship Now that you've verified that your Windows domain is set to the correct functional level and that name resolutions won't be a problem, the next step in the migration process is to establish a two-way trust relationship between the two domains.

As you probably expect, the migration process will not work unless this trust relationship is in place and functional. Therefore, before moving on, it's a good idea to test the trust relationship. The easiest way to do so is to create a test account in each domain. If you can log in, then at least one side of the trust relationship is working. Now, go to a machine that is a member of the Windows NT domain and log in as Test.

If that login works as well, then the trust relationship is functional and it's time to move on with the rest of the preparation work. The prep work Now that you've created a trust relationship between the two domains, you need to configure each domain so that the Domain Admins group from the other domain has administrative privileges. Although this is a simple operation, I'll take a moment to explain the process because the naming issues can be a bit tricky.

Once the console is open, double-click the Administrators group and add the Domain Admins group from your Windows domain. Therefore, if your Windows domain were named production. Due to the transitive nature of the trusts, far fewer trust relationships are required, and access to the resources is more efficient. Once the resource domains are upgraded, the users will have the same resource access as before. Resource domains under the Windows NT 4 model were created to delegate control to data administrators or they were required due to the account limitations of the Windows NT 4 directory service.

Most organizations will want to collapse the domain structure so that the accounts and resources reside within the same domain. Unless the resources must be isolated, the domain consolidation can incorporate them into OUs that will mimic the resource domain structure.

If the resources must be isolated, a resource domain can remain, giving the administrators of the resource domain autonomous control over the resource. If true isolation is required, the design requirements may dictate that a resource forest be created.

For more information about resource forests, check out the section titled "Designing the Forest Structure" in Chapter 3. Upgrading the resource domain retains the domain structure. Performing an upgrade of the domain does not allow you to restructure or collapse the domains into a smaller, more manageable design.

This is the easiest of the upgrade methods, but you do not gain any administrative benefits. The domains have to be controlled separately as they were under Windows NT 4. When looking at this migration approach, review the reasons for maintaining the same design as was previously used.

Without reducing the administrative overhead associated with multiple domains, you will not achieve the maximum TCO savings. Note that all of the existing domains are retained within the new design. The MUD, Corp, has been upgraded to become the forest root. Each of the resource domains are upgraded as child domains so that the current administrative staff can still manage the resources. Also note that the administrative staff from Corp. Restructuring the domains allows you to take advantage of the new features of Active Directory.

If data administrators decide that they need autonomy over the resources they control, an OU can be identified in which the resources can be migrated.
