Actually yes, my cat stands by my door when I get home and looks at me, cherups to say hi, then runs up to the closet because she knows I will be changing and is in there sitting on her shelf in the closet when I come in and watches me change purring the whole time, then she runs over to the bed

LOL! You see, you have to groom cats like you groom Active Directory. If you don't take care of the excess crap in AD it will barf on you, just like a cat will barf if you don't take off the excess fur with brushing. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Can't think of anything for Universal Groups for Guido. Groups are like the sock drawer you left slightly open. You have to go all over the place tracking them down and finding matching pairs after the cat played with them all day. -Original Message- From: joe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

what's the best way to migrate a child domain's users to a new forest?How would one go about this? exchange2k is really the only AD aware app we have. also, how could we still share the GAL between 2 forests? would it be easier to upgrade to win2k3 and exchange2k3 first? we are running win2k

going from one AD domain to a new forest requires the same approach, as migrating from an NT4 domain. Depending on the complexity of your environment, the free MS ADMT tool can do this for you (but will only migrate security principals, i.e. users, groups, computers). If you want to migrate

I should have been clearer on the word migration: it usually means a parallel migration into disjoint namespace. Yes, an inplace-upgrade is definitely easier, although you still need to know what you're doing, especially if you do this in larger deployments. There are various gotcha with ADMT -
