ADMT question

hello,

I have read a lot about ADMT and i am still confused about one point. I
have a WinNT 4.0 domain with Exch 5.5 on a member server in that domain. I
also have a W2K domain in mixed mode. I have a W2K3 member server in the W2K
domain that i intend to put Exch2k3 on. I want to move the users and sids
from the NT domain to the W2K domain. We are not satisfied with the old
WinNT 4.0 domain and did not want to do an in place upgrade to W2k of that
domain. We decided to start over. I know the W2K domain must be in native
mode to run ADMT 2.0. My question is will i still be able to use ADMT 2.0 to
move users and sids from the old NT domain after i switch my W2k domain to
native mode? Will trusts permit me to still do this after going to native
mode?

My goal is to not have our users loose login capability to their email.
Email is about the only thing left on the old NT domain. The users currently
login to the new W2K domain. They are given permission to their mailbox
using the Exch5.5 permissions tab. Any enlightenment anyone could give would
be appreciated.

Yes indeed, i used ADMT 2.0 to move 4700 Users from NT 4.0 Domain to W2K
Domain in native mode, and since it is one of the ADMT requirments so don't
worry, you will be able to transfer the users from NT4.0 Domain to W2K
Domain, without any problems.

please note that switching to Native mode on W2K and W2K3 is one way step,
you can not go back to mixed mode after changing to Native. but since you
have to transfer the users between the two domains , then you have to do it,
otherwise , you need to create all the accounts on W2K domain manually, and
imagine if you have 4700 Users , how many days, sorry months, to do that
:):) so thanks god that we have ADMT tools :)
