Login hangs after Security Translation with ADMT

[Nick]

Dear all

I've used Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) to move about 25 NT,
2000 & XP machines from NT to a new 2000 domain & had a similar
problem with 4 of them (1 XP & 3 2000).

After the ADMT machine & user accounts have been migrated to the new
domain, I use the ADMT Security Translation Wizard on the client PC to
translate these objects:
Files and folders
Registry
User profiles
User rights

then Add security references.

When the user tries to log in to the new domain, it hangs almost
immediately (blank screen, no icons or desktop, no ctrl-alt-del).
There seems to be some problem with the profile as I can log in to my
own new domain account on the PC & the user can log in to her domain
account from another PC. It's probably not file ownership &
permissions either as at least one of the problematical PCs has a FAT
filesystem.

Thanks

Nick

Just in case anyone's interested, it was mapped drives to Samba shares
on Unix boxes which were making it hang. They are still being
authenticated by the old domain & for some reason weren't failing
gracefully. I found this out by logging in with the network cable
disconnected whereupon it said "Cannot connect to ...". After picking
Cancel & telling it not to reconnect, the login completed.

Cheers
