it's less point and click these days, at least if you do it right, since you should certainly leverage the include-file options to select the objects for the migration (also allows to rename objects during the migration).
However, I doubt that James even has a problem with the migration of users and groups (although I've also used multiple sessions to speed up larger scale migrations with ADMTv3). The more lengthy task is obviously the processing/migration of the clients - here multiple sessions are useful for many reasons, especially to run the tool with different credentials so that it can connect with different account data to the various clients (if these reside in various source domains). Or even just to handle processing of batches. Especially now that ADMT has a cool retry option that will go after all those clients that are forever offline (and it even performs post-migration checks on the clients to see that they've migrated successfully...) The way I've helped myself was to use a terminal server with multiple connections for the different sessions - the RDC session name will be visible and allow you to keep the sessions appart. And when connected to a session - your account would tell you that this is the Denver session or you could even add some other notes on the desktop or whereever, if this helps you keep the sessions appart... /Guido -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Coleman, Hunter Sent: Dienstag, 13.

If you go that route, you can have multiple log files that are uniquely named and not run into the session confusion. You'll also get much more consistent results from the scripts, as you won't have mischecked options or typos that seem inevitable in lots of point/click scenarios.

The multi session ability has been a huge benefit to us. We are running into a problem keeping multiple sessions straight. How hard would it be to include a description field that you can fill in when you start the session that would then show up in the title bar for the session (something like Session DENVER, California, etc) Just a wish.
