Hi all, I was wondering if someone could help me with the following:
During our migration process from NT4 to W2K (building the Win2K domain from scratch and moving into it), there will first be a users/groups clone to AD and users will start logging on with W2K credentials while the NT Domains still exist. In this phase the users will still be using their old NT4 Workstations.
The policies applied to the NT4 workstation should stay the same as they were before. To make this happen, we thought it would be an idea to force the remote update of the machines to a netlogon\ntconfig.pol on a NT4 domain controller.
Now, as the user group names won't be the same anymore in W2K, all the group objects in the System Policy Editor will need to be duplicated with their new names.
If you'd know a way to automate this (or any other way to deal with this case), your ideas/information would be very much appreciated...
