Documenting the Migration Plan for Windows NT 4.0 Master User Domains

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

After you identify all remaining Windows NT 4.0 Master User Domains and determine the OUs in the Active Directory domains to which the accounts in these domains will be migrated, you need to document your migration plan.

For a worksheet to assist you in documenting your migration plan for Windows NT 4.0 MUDs, see "Migration Plan for Windows NT 4.0 Master User Domains" (DSSLOGI_6.doc) on the Windows Server 2003 Deployment Kit companion CD (or see "Migration Plan for Windows NT 4.0 Master User Domains" on the Web at https://www.microsoft.com/reskit).

Example: Documenting the Migration Plan for Windows NT 4.0 Master User Domains

Contoso Corporation decided to upgrade the noam and soam domains to Active Directory domains. They chose to migrate the remaining MUDs in Europe into the new European domain eur.corp.contoso.com. They documented their migration plan in a worksheet.

Figure 2.25 shows the Windows NT 4.0 MUD migration plan documentation that the Contoso Corporation design team created.
