Domain Migration


we're planning domain migration of our winxp , win7 desktops following details:
-source , destination domains both windows 2008 r2 in same forest
-domain levels windows 2008 r2, forest level windows 2003
-users , groups not migrate, new user account used in destination domain
-drive mappings, printers etc must maintained, though hardware not migrate
-profiles local , settings must migrate new user account
-some data encrypted
-some laptop harddrives encrypted
-can old user name, sourcedomain\user, still used in event new 1 has problems
-rollback moving workstation source domain , using old account again necessary
-their no computer names in forest

what difficulties can expect type of move?

i see requirement here “profiles local , settings must migrate new user account”

then need perform proper user migration using migration tool.  microsoft has free tool called admt.  since pre-created users, need merge them during migration.  i have documented process in following blog:
