It may be failing due to ADMT can't authenticate with using DNS because of
the single label name (assuming that's what you mean by SLD). You can
possibly try patching the old domain and the new domain with this bandaid to
allow single label name queries and registrations. By default, any Windows
2000 SP4 and newer machines will not register into DNS with a single label
name. This reg entry overrides that. If it works, complete your tasks, and
back the reg entry out when done.
Yes, the SIDHistory works right away, however, how long do you expect to
keep using the SIDHistory? You'll need to eventually change it anyway. It's
designed for an interim phase during coexistence, and if you disjoin and
rejoin the other Windows 2003 server that has the complex folder structure
(I assume it is not a domain controller), you will need to change the
permissions over to the new domain accounts, then run the SIDHIstory Cleanup
Script to remove the old SIDs off the new accounts.
So if it were me, I would first create a report of all share and security
permissions on the complex structure on the Windows 2003 machine, then
migrate without the SIDHistory option, disjoin and rejoin the machine to the
new domain, change the permissions on the structure to reflect the new
accounts (users and groups) and be done and over with the old side.
