Restructuring Account Domains

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

Restructuring Windows NT 4.0 account domains involves migrating the user, group, and service accounts that exist in the Windows NT 4.0 domain into an Active Directory domain. If account domains include resources, you must also migrate those resources. The Active Directory target domain owner is responsible for the migration of all Windows NT 4.0 accounts. The migration process must be completed for every Windows NT 4.0 source account domain.

Figure 10.7 shows the process for restructuring Windows NT 4.0 account domains.
