Welcome Screen = Next > Provide the name to the ‘other’ domain > Next > External Trust > Next. You can setup the whole thing from one domain, below I’m creating it in the old domain. You would only need a ‘f orest-trust‘ if you were migrating from/to root and sub domains for example.Īs the name implies Trusts are setup from Administrative tools > Active Directory Domains and Trusts. If you have two simple domains like I do a “ two way domain trust” is fine. It’s better practice to ‘link’ your policy to the actual OU that your computers are in, to keep things simple, (and because I’m lazy) I’m going to link my policy to the root of the domain.īoth domains need to trust each other for the migration to take place. On a domain controller > Administrative Tools > Group Policy Management Console. The easiest way to do that is via group policy. In addition, we want all machines (in both domains) to set their primary DNS Suffix, to their own domain, and their DNS suffix search list to look for their own domain first, then the other domain. You can test it’s working by pinging BOTH the old and new domain names, in BOTH domains. Just add in the DNS server give it a while then re-open the forwarders settings and it should have ‘gone-green’. To achieve this you need to setup ‘Conditional Forwarding’ in each domain for the other one.ĭon’t worry if it looks like there’s a problem as long as the DNS servers can se each other, (and there’s no firewall in-between blocking TCP and UDP port 53). The old domain needs to be able to resolve names in the new domain, and the new domain needs to be able to resolve names in the old domain. I’ve got a test domain built to migrate from, and a new domain setup ready to migrate into.

Admt 3.2 guide install#
Although ADMT 3.2 was ‘re-jigged’ to support Server 2012 R2, I’m still going to install it on Server 2008 R2.
