Using active directory migration tool to migrate from NT 4.0 domain to W2K Active Directory. Trying to run parallel. Bring up the W2K along side the current NT 4.0 domain and then us the ADMT to migrate over. The problem I am having is that the source domain and the destination domain names are the same and I am getting an error trying the migration. Do I need to name the W2K domain differently then the source domain? If so, then it doesn't fall as a parrellel migration.

It's true you can not have the same NETBIOS domains names. MS's thought if you want the use the same domain name then an in-place upgrade of your domain is the way to go. You use a different NETBIOS domain name for your Win2K environment, then ADMT.
Note: Your AD domain has to running in Native mode also for the ADMT to work.

Thanks,

I figured that was the case. MS states that ADMT will work in a parallel environment, but doesn't define parallel.
