Yup. Been there, done that. Easy is relative. Is it easier than tying your shoes? No. Is it easier than having a root canal done? Possibly. Please review the following posts: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-April/103743.html http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-June/107028.html The above posts refer to using the Active Directory Migration Tool, which attempts to migrate user profiles from the old domain to the new one. In some instances, this fails, in which case you need to do it manually. The following posts outline that process. http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-December/115326.html http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-December/115413.html Note also that newer versions of ADMT can be downloaded from Microsoft in addition to the version on the Windows 2003 Server CD.
