Author retains full rights.  \nThis paper discusses the steps involved in migrating from Windows NT to Windows 2000. The scope of this paper is focused on supplying resources and defining basic project planning tips for a successful migration with security as a central theme. This paper is not intended to be a step-by-step walkthrough. This paper assumes that you are familiar with Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000. It is important to note that migrating to Windows 2000 requires an extraordinary amount of time, planning, and resources.  \nFramework for a successful migration Step 1: Project Planning  \nStep 2: Research  \nStep 3: Planning your future network.  \nStep 4: Test your plan  \nStep 5: Deployment  \nF8B5 06E4 A169  \nProject Planning:  \nThe obvious areas that will require the most time and resources are developing the plan which includes research and testing your proof of concept in your test network. Project planning will be mentioned often throughout this paper. Appendix A is the task list from a very well done Microsoft Project 2000 template that comes with Microsoft Project 2000.  \nResearch:  \nMost of the information on migration is very dry, mostly due to all of the tedious details and the fact that everything written on migration sounds the same. I have not  \nfound any single source that even comes close to being a definitive planning guide.  \nDuring research, the key pieces of information you will want to pay attention to are, that  \nwhich will help you plan your schema, your namespace/domains, your Organizational  \nUnits, and your delegation of authority. Basically, anything that discusses the Group  \nPolicy tool,“domain collapse”, Active Directory (AD) replication, and DNS planning  \nshould be highlighted. While the focus of your research may initially be to learn the new technologies that exist, as you start creating your vision you should also be researching  \ntools that will help you in migrating to and administering your new domain.  \nMicrosoft’s Windows 2000 technical library website is a great place to begin your  \nresearch if you do not already have a good understanding of Windows 2000. The link  \nbelow has several white papers from Microsoft specifically on migration. I recommend,“Planning Migration from Windows NT to Windows 2000” as a good starting point. This  \nis also dry reading but gives an acceptable introduction to the issues at hand with the  \nobvious exception of security.  \n[http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/library/planning/pds-cduadtoc.asp](http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/library/planning/pds-cduadtoc.asp)  \n[The next step is to read everything in the technical white papers section and step-by-step](The next step is to read everything in the technical white papers section and step-by-step)[ ](The next step is to read everything in the technical white papers section and step-by-step)guides section that pertains to the services you are currently running or plan on running for a general look at what is ahead.

Often learning about what a specific tool does will give you insight to  \na potential problem you did not realize you were going to have.  \nWindows 2000 DNS, published by New Riders, is a fairly well written book that gives an extended overview of DNS’s role and implementation under Windows 2000.
