Hello
We need to plan an AD domain migration to an already existing domain - i.e. not a new domain - for dozens of servers hosting different roles and am looking for some general pointers for what we should be aware of.
We cannot use ADMT (for internal political reasons) and cannot use external tools, e.g. Quest (for cost reasons)
The roles on the servers include:
Domain controllers, IIS, SQL, CRM, VMWare Virtual Center - plus other bespoke applications.
I know there will NOT be a "one size fits all" process for every server (or even every application) but was hoping someone could provide general information for the apps mentioned above.
e.g. should we not even consider moving the server(s) between domains but rather build a new server and reinstall the application ? If rebuilding a server is NOT an option for any reason, CAN we move the application server(s) to the other domain without issues ?
I realise this is a very complex set of tasks but, as I said, just looking for some general information to give us a starting point.
Thanks
