Documenting the Migration Plan for Windows NT 4.0 Resource Domains

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

After you identify all existing Windows NT 4.0 resource domains and determine how you will migrate the domains to OUs in Active Directory regional domains in the forest, it is important to document this information.

For a worksheet to assist you documenting your plan for restructuring Windows NT 4.0 resource domains, see "Migration Plan for Windows NT 4.0 Resource Domains" (DSSLOGI_7.doc) on the Windows Server 2003 Deployment Kit companion CD (or see "Migration Plan for Windows NT 4.0 Resource Domains" on the Web at https://www.microsoft.com/reskit).

Example: Documenting the Migration Plan for Windows NT 4.0 Resource Domains

Contoso Corporation needs to migrate their Windows NT 4.0 resource domains to OUs in their Active Directory regional domains. After they identified the source and target locations, they documented the target OU for each resource domain that is to be restructured. Figure 2.27 shows the Windows NT 4.0 resource domain migration plan documentation that the Contoso Corporation design team created.
