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. 

Hope that helps,
Noah

Subject: [ActiveDir] Is Exchange 5.5 running on NT 4.0 accessible via
Native Mode Active Directory?

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...
