W2K Migration Plan

1. Migrate users/desktops to provide kerberos
   authentication. Resources still in NT4 domain.
2. Upgrade resources to W2K where possible.
3. Migrate resources into W2K domain
4. Shutdown NT4 domains.

W2K Migration Plan Step 1

• Migrate only CD W2K users profile desktops
  into the W2K domain by Feb 1st.
• Accounts and profiles are cloned from FNAL NT.
• Provides easy back out, just in case!
• Migration cautious
• Developing homegrown tools to work with our
  environment
• Testing methods that will work with other NT
  domains on site.
• Verifying our design works as well in real life
  as on paper

Issues

• Shared admin/service accounts (used heavily in
  NT4 domain)
• Remote Access packages (no kerberos
  authentication)
• New users
• Admin Documentation
• All being addressed by W2K Migration subgroups

FAQs?

• Will my system look different when Im migrated?
• No. Just the domain name you log in to changes!
• Can I migrate myself?
• No. Moving a user requires Domain Administration
  privileges.
• 95/98/NT allowed in domain?
• Initially only W2K systems are allowed
• 95/98 systems require upgrade exemption
• NT4 systems will not be allowed.
• Home systems?
• Personal systems will not be members of the
  domain but will have access to resources (will
  require NTLMv2)
