Yeah my OWA users mostly login with their UPNs, but workstation users the domain is usually just selected. Switching to UPNs requires education of wtf a UPN is and that your email address works the ctrl alt del screen too.

Switch to UPN logons if the clients support it. Then move them as you want to, just make sure the UPN doesn't change.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Educating Users about crossdomain moves

Wondering how other folks do this:

 

Environment I’m currently dealing with has two domains which basically work out to this as far as user distribution – Domain A) Central Office & Domain B) Remote Sites. Now, this is a 60K employee organization, and people seem to wander around a lot. I need to handle the move between remote sites and central office at the domain level. ADMTing the account is what I’m aiming to do. Now my question is how do I educate the user about this impending logon change? Do I send them an email two days before and a reminder the day before I do it? Do I just say screw em and make em call helpdesk?

 

There are roughly 2000 – 2500 people working at central office/qualified to be in this domain, the balance is at the remote sites. I have no idea what the actual volume of transfers is per week. My understanding is that it’s far more common to get fired and rehired than it is to actually transfer positions in this particular organization which amounts to a new account.
