NT to NT Migration

[Guest_imported]

Hey all,

Does anyone have any advise on migrating users from one primary domain to another? Is there anyway to transfer the user accounts from one NT server to another? What problems may occur when creating the second primary domain? If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks all...

If you mean a second primary domain controller then it has to be another domain. Use trusts between the domains and then you don't need to migrate the users across and they can stay where they are...

Unfortunatly we have to separate the domains as our company is splitting in two. Thank you very much for your response.

If the company is going to be physically separate, just take a BDC which contains a copy of the users and put it up on its own. Promote it to PDC and wipe the users you don't want. Similarly on the original PDC too. If they are staying on the same network, just group them differently so that they can't see each other .
