Hi, Have you tried using the Active Directory Migration Tool to move the file server accounts to the new forest? Here is a link to s a little bit of background info: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc739494%28WS.10%29.aspx and a link to ADMT 3.2: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=20C0DB45-DB16-4D10-99F2-539B7277CCDB&displaylang=en One special caveat with moving applications integrated with active directory is that these applications may need to be reconfigured to the new forest/domain and any directory-dependent paths that are hard-coded in the application may require the application to need to be recompiled. It is likely that the developers for the applications in your organization will need to be involved to determine if anything that is dependent on the directory needs to be recompiled or reconfigured. -- Mike Burr

Hi, Thank you for your post here. What exactly do you want to migrate on the IIS 6.0 server? Do you want to move the existing IIS 6.0 sites to a new server in the external forest? Or do you need to migrate the user account in the current forest to the external forest? To move Web sites or applications to a new IIS 6.0 server, please refer to: Internet Information Services 6.0 Migration Tool http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=2aefc3e4-ce97-4f25-ace6-127f933a6cd2&displaylang=en To move AD user accounts/profile to the new domain, you may check: Migrating All User Accounts http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc974368(WS.10).aspx Translating Local User Profiles http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773340(WS.10).aspx
