We have setup a Two way trust between two domains ( CITY and POLICE). We setup ADMT 3.0and we setup the password migration part as well. We can bring users over and computers over to the new domain. But when the users log into the new domain they lose all of their "stuff". Stuff = Backgroun, files, email, and so on. We used the replace secuirty in ADMT but nothing has worked for us. CITY = 2003 POLICE= 2000 Will be more than happy to add more infomration as requested.

All of their 'stuff' is in their user profile on the local computer. Did you migrate the workstations to the new domainas well? Also, did you bring over SID history when you migrated the user?

Yes its the Local profile or Local.police (sometimes). When we did the migration we migrated the computers with replace secuirty. We checked the following: Files and Folders, Local Groups, Printers, Registry, shares,user profiles. Then on the next screen we checked thebullet for replace secuirty.We tried Add and Remove as well, none worked. When we brought over the users we checked the following: Translate roaming profiles, update user rights, migrate asociated user groups, update previsouly migrated objects and fix users' group memberships we also checked migrate user sid's tp target domain.

with ADMT v3 I have found that if the account running ADMT specifically is not listed in the workstations "Administrators" account you can run into issue with security translation. When you check the NTFS permissions on an affected workstation for a profile folder- do you see the permissions for the destination user account that holds the sidhistory SID of the original user? Once you logon to that workstation and it creates a new profile for the destination user account- you must remove it before you rerun the security translation wizard again. so I would suggest: log on to that workstation- dump the new profile using the system tool and then add the ADMT account to the local administators group specifically- then rerun the security translation wizard on that workstation and try loggin on again.

Let me churn that around and see if we can make your suggestion work.

We used the user migration and made sure we got the SIDs We used the computer migration and migrated over our test / real machines with replace secuirty we used the secuirty tool and did the same thing as the computer migration Still did not work.

Yes but did not delete the profile before you ran the security translation wizard again on the workstation? also what are the permissions you see on the profile folder in question on the system drive?

Hi, I strongly recommend you to use Newsgroup for Windows Server Migration to get better help.
