I've been researching a solution for this migration for a while and I figured I'd open it up to the forum to see if any of you had been through this before.

I'm in the process of moving an Active Directory Forest consisting of 20+ servers, 1 domain, 2 subnets (front end public dmz, back end application dmz) onto new hardware.

I want to start with a fresh installation of Active Directory to get rid of some lingering Kerberos errors. However I want to move the existing user profiles over (500,000 aprox.) so all users won't have to reset their passwords. I also want to use the same Forest/Domain name.

Do you know of a cheap ($$$) tool that would enable me to do this?

Let me know if you have specific questions about my environment.

Thanks,
