But it's possible that someone changed this policy, created the account, and changed it back. I've done this myself (several times for service accounts to avoid [HP] protect tool's obfuscation process). It might not even have been intentional. One admin could have messed with the policy

Ravi, As Rob said, If your VPN box is forwarding requests to your internal network the your DNS will automatically update the records according to the new IP which in your case is x.x.5.x. Can you explain exactly what is the problem that you are facing due to this? Regards, Jaspreet Singh Jolly

Yes. Try doing file://computername/c$ toa few of thecomputers in question. If you can't connect, you have a firewall issue. If you can connect, but can log in with the account you are using for the migration, you have a permission issue. Those 2 tests must pass before you can do any migration.
