We are using Quest Migration Manager. It has a few quirks, but moving users and machines is easy and reliable once set up. We had a few thousand users and workstations to move between domains and that went very smoothly. We are still moving servers as anything that has dependencies can cause havoc when moved. Finding all the FQDNs and references to IP addresses (we are renumbering too!) is a royal pain. The good part is that we have been able to decomm 33 servers by moving their functions to other machines or simply find the server was no longer in use. -Brian
