Has anyone had any experience with migrating computers over a vpn connection?
Did you use the ADMT tool? If so, did you need to make any adjustments for
the remote connections? We've been using the netdom utility, but when it
needs to reboot. When it reboots the remote client, the machine no longer
recognizes the user's cached credentials. Has anyone found a way around this?
Thanks.
 
There is nothing additional to do while you migrate over VPN, planning the
migration project according to the connection as speed etc, related to how
many objects to move when and where.

Let me rephrase. Our current migration process involves rebooting the
computer after the migration. When we do this with a remote connection (we
do not select connect on dialup, we logon with cached credentials, then
connect through VPN), the machine will not allow the logon. It doesn't seem
to recognize the cached credentials. We are using Netdom. Is this possibly
a timing issue, or would this work differently with the ADMT?
 
Sorry, I see the problem here now, I didn't realize it was a Client to
Server VPN.
The best thing to do is to keep VPN client computers LAN connected while you
migrate there computer accounts, if they ever are LAN connected.

Since you connect after logon, I don't believe ADMT can migrate threes
computers automatically, you may have to found another way, such scripting
the computers to join the destination/new domain.
