[itdiscuss] Sharing a Share

[Kevin Brunson]

ADMT would be a good start.  It allows you to move (or in this case copy, since they aren't in the same forest) AD users and computers between domains, including SID so you don't have to go through and change all the permissions on all the shares.  It also means you don't have profile problems on the workstations.  The profile is tied to the SID, the SID stays the same, the computer gives the user the same profile they had before.

Of course this may be too late in the operation to even think about it, but why not just join the new server to the domain, promote it, and then move everything over.  That is definitely the best way to go if you are trying to make it absolutely smooth.

We are planning to migrate the users and the computers to the new domain.  But that will take a lot more effort.  We are changing the standard user account names, the password rules, and transitioning off of roaming profiles.  By the way, any suggestions you might have that will help us do this all as smooooth as possible, will be greatly appreciated.  These users don't like CHANGE.....

Trust are pretty straight forward.
Watch your DNS between the two domains The servers have to know where each other are and so will the clients. You may have to put each of the servers in the others forward lookups in DNS.

Where are the user accounts?  Do you plan on migrating those too?

After a trust is made between the domains,  sharing a folder on either domain (bidirectional trust) you will have the choice to browse the other domain for selecting users/groups for setting rights.

Why don't you just set up a trust between the two domains?

At my church we have two servers.  One is W2k and the other is W2k3.  We are trying to migrate off of the old server to the new one.  They are on separate domains.  As an intermediate step, we would like to map a drive on the old server, which points to a share on the new server, and have all the old server clients access the data "through" the old server.  That way there should not be authentication problems.  Can anyone tell me a third party software that would setup an "alias" share on the older server, where the data is actually on the new server?

Thanks,
