Note that this key constitutes a security risk and should only be enabled during the period of migration. On the domain controller that will be used to export the account information, create/set a value of 1 for a DWORD registry key called AllowPasswordExport in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA\.

This is the step that’s not in the instructions – even though the password encyption file was supplied during the installation of the ADMT Password Migration DLL, it still needs to be imported manually on the PDC Emulator, by shelling out to a command prompt and entering the following commands:Īdmt key /option:import /sourcedomain: domainname /keyfile: filename.pes.During the installation, supply the password encryption (.PES) file that was created earlier.

Run pwdmig.exe to install the ADMT Password Migration DLL and follow the installation wizard.

via the c$ administration share) and access the %systemroot%\ADMT\PES folder.

On the domain controller in the source domain that holds the PDC Emulator operations master role, connect to the computer with ADMT installed (e.g.

(the domainname can be specified in NetBIOS or DNS format.)

On a computer with ADMT installed, create a password encryption key for each source domain, by shelling out to a command prompt and entering the following commands:Īdmt key /option:create /sourcedomain: domainname /keyfile: filename.pes.

In both the source and target domains, ensure that success and failure auditing is enabled for account management.

On the domain controller that will be used to export the account information (usually the DC holding the PDC Emulator operations master role for the source domain), create/set a value of 1 for a DWORD registry key called TcpipClientSupport in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA\.

This group must be empty, and is required in order to migrate the sIDHistory information between source and target accounts.

If not already created by ADMT, create a new domain local group called domainname$$$.

Install ADMT by running admtsetup.exe and follow the installation wizard on the computer that will be used for the migration (I used a domain controller in the source domain but ideally you would have dedicated computers for migration activities and it seems logical that this should be in the target domain).

Make sure that there is a trust in place between the source and target domains.

(For reference, both the source and target domains were in Windows Server 2003 domain and forest functional mode, running Windows Server 2003 with a mixture of service packs 1 and 2.) This took some time, but with the help of my enterprise support colleagues (effectively a PSS call), we found a way through. Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) v3 and Exchange Migration Wizard (one of the Exchange Server 2003 deployment tools) – but they seem to do the job.Īs migrating several hundred users to new accounts (with new passwords) would cause a huge number of support calls, I wanted to get the ADMT password migration DLL working. We didn’t use any third party tools – just the standard Microsoft utilities, i.e.

I’ve spent most of this month working with a customer who is consolidating various Active Directory forests into a single domain.
