ADMT V3

Is ADMT able to copy just the passwords over from another domain?

Here's a quote:

 

"ADMT v3 includes a new Password Migration Wizard that you can use to migrate only the passwords of previously migrated users. The Password Export Server Selection page is a new wizard page in the Password Migration Wizard that you can use to select the password export server in a drop-down list.

 

It is important to note that the User Selection page does not prevent you from selecting user objects that have not previously been migrated. If you select a user object that has not previously been migrated, a message is generated in the migration log and no action or change is made to the selected user."

 

Hope that helps!

Sounds like DNS to me. MS go to great lengths to ensure the ADMT PES feature is secure (encryption key etc.), so it would not surprise me to find that it only works with users that have been migrated, not with users that have been manually created on the new system. Me not the expert though.

 

It used to be possible to copy passwords with the COPYPWD utility. This exports the password hashes to a text file. You then use the same utility to import the hashes on the target server. I then the SAM Account names have to match (or I suppose you could maybe edit the text file). I don't know if this still works in 2K3. It claims to work on NT4/2000, and it certainly did. It was great for small numbers of users.
