Title: RE: [ActiveDir] Computer Migration Issues with ADMT

Thanks Sudhir. I have DHCP in the lab with DNS and WINS entry.  I don’t have name resolution problem.  I can resolve Target and Source domain from the workstation. I think my problem is something else or something related to Time Sync.  I used Shutdown.exe to restart workstation remotely without any problem.      As mike mentioned, I am going to test “Restart after 1 or 5 min option” in the lab today.  I believe this is something related to time sync configuration.  I don’t have a time server configured in the DHCP scope.   Santhosh   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sudhir Kaushal Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 12:29 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Computer Migration Issues with ADMT   Hi Santosh, I had this problem while migrating the computer accounts and the things i concluded are as follows: This error is because the ADMT agent on the source domain clients is not able to resolve the target domain.   I tried first creating static WINS record of the target domain in the source domain WINS server. Though MIcrosoft dont recommend it. It didn't worked out for me, may be for the simple fact that WINS resolution is not supported when ur target Win2K domain is using DNS for the name resolution. I was migrating from NT 4.0 to Win2K. If you r using DNS in the source domain and if it doesn't have resource record of Target domain, then create it. so that ADMT agent should be able to resolve the Target domain name from the source domain DNS. Like "Targetdomain.com" . If u r using only WINS in the source domain, then make sure that u have the WINS record of the target domain in the source domain WINS server. If u r using DHCP then u can make all ur source domain clients to use DNS of Target domain by making the configuration for DNS in DHCP . So that ADMT agent could able to resolve the target domain name from Target domain DNS server only. For me the first one worked out. I hope it works for u too.
