ADMT consists of a set of wizards designed to help you migrate users, groups, computers, service accounts, trusts, and security settings on objects. ADMT also provides support for migrating accounts from the directory of Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5. The primary operations of this tool are available on the Action menu and include the following:
User Account Migration Wizard
Group Account Migration Wizard
Computer Migration Wizard
Service Account Migration Wizard
Trust Migration Wizard
Security Translation Wizard
Exchange Directory Migration Wizard
In addition to ADMT, Microsoft provides several other tools that can assist in certain migration scenarios. These tools include User State Migration Tool (USMT), File Settings and Transfer Wizard, migration scripts, and the Movetree utility.
You can automate the migration of user settings and data by using USMT, an administrative wizard designed to assist in the deployment of Microsoft Windows XP clients in an enterprise network environment, specifically in the migration of user settings. This administrative tool was initially shipped with Windows XP in a folder off the root of the product CD called ValueAddMsftUsmt.
USMT comprises a set of tools, which perform the user state acquisition and the loading operations, and a set of information files (.inf files), which determine what information gets migrated.
USMT operations (and related executable files) include the following:
Acquire user state information (Scanstate.exe)
Load the user state information to a new computer (Loadstate.exe)
USMT information migrated (and related .inf files) includes the following:
Operating system settings (Migsys.inf)
User settings (Miguser.inf)
Application settings (Migapp.inf)
Also, the Sysfiles.inf file is used to tell USMT about files (such as operating system files) that should not be migrated, irrespective of any other USMT configuration settings.
Note
For more information about customizing these .inf files, refer to the USMT .inf Commands.doc that is contained in the Windows Server 2003 Deployment Kit.
Migrated information includes the following:
File types migrated .ch3, .csv, .dif, .doc, .doc, .dqy, .iqy, .mcw, .oqy, .pot, .ppa, .pps, .ppt, .pre, .rqy, .rtf, .scd, .sh3, .slk, .txt, .wk?, .wpd, .wps, .wq1, .wri, .xl?
User folders migrated Cookies, Desktop, Favorites, My Documents, My Pictures
User settings migrated Certificates, fonts, keyboard, localization, mapped network drivers, mouse, network printers, screen saver, sounds, taskbar, Microsoft Outlook/ Outlook Express configuration and mail files, dial-up configuration, Microsoft Office System configuration, and Microsoft Internet Explorer configuration.
The File and Settings Transfer Wizard is a user-based migration tool that allows users to transfer their configuration settings and data from one computer to another. Although not designed for corporate deployments or mass migrations, it can allow users to transfer their settings, files, and folders from one computer to another without requiring administrative assistance. This tool is installed on clients running Windows XP in the System Tools menu. Click Programs or All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, File Settings And Transfer Wizard.
A set of scripts (starting with Clonepr.vbs) is provided in the Windows Support Tools for migrating security principals. Although these scripts do copy security principals to the new domain, leaving the source domain intact, they do not migrate user passwords and are used only for interforest migration of security principals (including migrating from Windows NT 4 to Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000).
The Clonepr.vbs script completes the following tasks:
Uses Clonegg.vbs to copy global groups, Clonelg.vbs to copy local groups, and Cloneggu.vbs to copy all global groups and users
Adds the security identifiers (SIDs) from the source domain to the SID history for the new account in the destination domain by using Sidhist.vbs
The Movetree utility is used in intraforest migration of security principals. Movetree is a command-line program and is part of the Support Tools provided with Windows Server 2003 (located in the SupportTools folder on the product CD).
Movetree is used to do the following:
Move security principals to a new domain and delete them from the source domain
Migrate user passwords
Normally, you should use ADMT to migrate users, computers, and groups; use Movetree to move directory objects that are not migrated by ADMT (such as members of default groups such as Administrators or Domain Admins).
Independent vendors produce migration tools that provide much of the same functionality as the Microsoft tools. Each product is different, however, and the features and benefits of each must be evaluated in the context of your migration environment and process. Following are two third-party tools:
