Migrating corrupt Win2k AD -> Win2k AD stable

[ronrf1]

Tried to migrate from a corrupt Windows 2000 AD forest
(configured as name w/o fqdn) to a newly created Win 2k
Ad forest. I finally found a document that stated in
order for ADMT to work you need to create an external
trust relationship. I figured that if I could create a
trust then I could move the computer to the new forest
and run the moveuser util (since the domain\user) is
still around.

Any ideas on how to get the XP profiles migrated for the
50 machines? How could I establish the trust?

Ron,

I might suggest that you use netdom. This is a utility on the Support
Tools.

You will also need some sort of NetBIOS name resolution. I might suggest
the use of LMHOSTS.

Please take a look at the following MSKB Article:
