ADMT password migrate erro

[jimmyjiang]

hi,

I try to migrate my 2000 server domain to a new 2k3 server domain, I get problem with password migration.

I did set up a password export server as the ADMT help documents,

(my migrationssouce server and export password server is win2k with sp4, 128bit encryption pack & Pwdmig.exe installed,changed AllowpasswordExport entry in regedit, reboot the server)

but I still get a error:"uable to establish a session with the password export server".can someone help me out?

also another question is: can roaming pofile be migrated?

thanks in advance!

I had the same problem (as i remember) although I put it down to the server being a NT4 server, but apparently not.

I think there are things you have to do in order to accomplish it - certain services to enable, a certain type of user to enable/create and give certain permissions - sorry i cant give specifics here but it was last August/September so its a little unclear in my head, but it should be in the documentation.

I couldnt get it to work because certain things just werent there in NT4, so i decided to not bother importing the passwords. There was some other options like reset them to a specific alphanumeric phrase or something like the first characters of the usernames or something.

I choose that, even tho I had users this year come up to me saying that they haven't been able to log in since before september!!! If they dont come to me, then i dont know they cant get in hehe

Anyhow, hope it helps...

Regards,

Nath.
