when doing intra forest migrations some tools are destructive menaing the old user account is deleted before the new one is created. Reason is with a intra forest migration the GUID does not change (SID does) the problem with this is it does not provide fallback. In fact it is a MOVE. As I know, Domain Migration Wizard from Quest does a copy and thus providing for fallback concerning the user account which is a pro. There also cons when thinking about profiles, when thinking copy compared to move. It all depends on what you want and like best Cheers #JORGE#

What tool(s) are available besides ADMTv2 to migrate users from one domain to another within the same forest? ADMT does not copy profiles as far as I know. My biggest issue is not having enough staff to touch all the desktops in one weekend, and hiring temps is probably out as well. Would it be difficult to script something to migrate profiles? Has anyone tried to do this themselves? Thanks as always. This list is a real help.
