If you migrate the users with the ADMT tool the new accounts on the 2000 side will have the old NT 4 SID attached to their new account. No further configuration is needed to allow the users to access Exchange 5.5. Q260871 gives information on how to setup the domains to allow ADMT to work.

I'm converting a customer from an NT 4.0 Domain based model to Active directory. My problem is this.... I'm very tempted to fire up Win2k server on a brand new box running native mode. Once set up I could use the Win2k version of NetDom to create trusts to the existing NT 4.0 servers. Now I've got a fully functional AD domain for testing before adding all of my NT 4.0 users etc. This all sounds great... but I think the fly in the ointment is getting AD users access to exchange 5.5 running on an NT 4.0 Primary Domain Controller. I could always put NT 4.0, promote to NT 4.0 PDC and up upgrade to Win2k Server "Mixed Mode" but I've always been weary of ANY upgrade vs. a fresh install on Servers. Would the Exchange "Active Directory Connecter" help me here or is that more of a tool for a mixed Exchange server environment? Any Thoughts... James M. Brown, CNE, MCSE J.B.
