If you want to have more seamless domain moves, it is
probably worth doing that education. Also I think there is some reg entry or GPO
entry you can apply that will disable options (and hence the domain dropdown) by
default (though it can be reenabled by the user) which could help.
Honestly, I figure MS is going this direction anyway, so
worth teaching users now. If you don't put GCs everywhere though you want to be
careful with this functionality as it requires a GC for the
auth.

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. From:

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

Desmond 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.
