ADMT and DFS

Hi everybody.

I didn't find documentation about ADMT and DFS migration.

SCENARIO:

W2000 AD Domain (only W2000 DCs);

3 DC are the DFS Root target too;

DFS target are W2003R2 only File Server;

replica of the DFS root target is through DFS-R.

ISSUE:

I need to migrate this domain to a brand new W2008 based forest through ADMT.

Some advice about DFS service migration?

Thanks!

-Pier

robocopy the data and security to the new server(s) and set up the
replication from scratch.

Hi Danny,
thank you very much for your replay!

Sorry but I think there was a mis-understanding.
I don't need to migrate dfs target share between server.
I need to migrate the DFS name space and the server hosting the DFS target
to the new domain (AS-IS).

I haven't done this so you should test by installing DFSR onto a test
computer in the "W2000 AD Domain", open the DFSR management console and
choose "add namespace to display". Now you have a test namespace to try
adding to the "W2008 domain". See if "add namespace to display" gives you
the option to add that name space after you move the server to the Win 2k8
domain.
I would do this test after the trust required for ADMT is setup.

If this works the files are the easy part. They come over with the server.
