Migration

[NickDay85]

Hello, apologies if this is in the wrong location but I'm after some guidance.

 

We have just had new Servers installed with a new domain in preparation for eventually unifying our MAT. Our current domain and the new domain are both sitting on the same wired network, with the new servers having DHCP disabled currently to avoid any clashes.

 

What would be my best option in regards to migrating users from one domain to another with minimal disruption? We use Macs solely for our client devices so unbinding and rebinding those won't be an issue as their preferences are all controlled by an MDM.

 

Other than that, I'm trying to work out the best route to take. Has anyone else had experience of a setup like this before? Am I better to just bite the bullet and do it with downtime, or does anyone know if I can do it in stages? Other services that would require migrating is RADIUS, BioStore and Papercut/Printers.

 

Thanks

Nick

ADMT (Active Directory Migration Toolkit). I used it heavily back in 2015, it was superb. Spun up a new VM for it (on the destination domain).

A migration toolkit sounds like it might make it easier. What does that entail (apart from the obvious). Will it in effect clone my current domain setup onto the new one?
