Goals of the Migration

The goals of your migration from Windows NT 4.0 to Active Directory and Windows 2000 are maximum availability, minimal disturbance, minimized manual migration and support tasks, maintained security, and shortest timeline. Your objective in moving your users to the new environment is a clean implementation with the least impact to the user. This is important because the migration experience for the users has an impact on how they view the technology. Those first impressions are hard to overcome if they include a bad migration experience.
