Upgrading 2 NT 4.0 domains into one 2000 AD domain?

[Nick]

I was wondering if it is possible to migrate 2 nt 4.0 based domains
into 1 AD domain? The new AD domain will have new domain name then
the 2 old NT 4.0 domains. Also the 2 NT.40 domains have an existing 2
way trust built. If this is possible it will solve a lot of
headaches. Thanks in advance Nick

Nick,

You can migrate multiple NT4 domains into one Windows 2000 domain by using
the Active Directory Migration tool. This is a free download from
Microsoft. Use the link below to download it:

See the following knowledge base article for instructions on how to use
ADMT: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=260871

I hope this helps.

Yes it can be done. There are numerous third party applications that can
help you with this, but remember that Microsoft also have a free tool called
ADMT to do it.
I've used ADMT several times and it's really good. You'll find it on the
www.microsoft.com site, search for admt.
