Hi all,
I just started to play around with the ADMT tool. I am going to consolidate two NT domains into one 2000 domain. As far as I know, OUs are great for two things:
– Delegate control
– GPOs
I have a mixed network environment of 98,2000,NT and XP desktops. 90% of them desktops are running 98 or NT.
You can only apply GPOs to W2K and XP desktops, right?. If so, then I don’t have much use for GPOs or delegation of control at this point and time, am I correct?
Should I then place the users accounts from the source domains into the builtin Users container on the Windows 2000 domain? or
Should I go ahead and create OUs before the migration and place these users in the OUs instead?
For example, create an OU called Accounting and place the users from the accounting source domain in this OU?
About computer accounts, should I use the builtin container or create OUs that represent the structure of my company. For example create an OU called Accounting and another OU for the corporate computers accounts?
I think I heard or saw somewhere that you should not use the default containers.
I am also running the ADMT tool version from the Windows 2003 media in a Windows 2000 server (Native Mode). is this version compatible with 2000?
Any other suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for your time.
