I have been tasked with moving my Active Directory Forest to new servers, from Dell PowerEdge to HP Proliant Blades. I need to keep the Forest and Domain names the same.
The forest contains over 500,000 users and well over a million objects. I considered creating the domain from scratch, but would like to keep the user profiles for obvious reasons, not the least of which would be having half a million users having to change their passwords.
Directory Services Restore mode is a viable option, unfortunately that brings with it the System State (Dell hardware) along with Sysvol. This critically corrupts the HAL on the new HP Proliant Blade Hardware.
Let me know if any of you have any ideas.
Thanks in advance on this one.
