Hi Baboon,
Do you mean that you have some workstations running operating systems
earlier than Windows 2000?
If you do, you need to upgrade them to at least Windows 2000 as USMT
doesn't work on them. USMT only support Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows
2000 as source for migrating data.
However, if you mean that the domain functional level is Windows 2000 mixed
mode (containing NT4.0), but the machines are running Windows XP, using
USMT is fine.

No, the workstations are most likely all XP and Vista.
The domain that we need to collapse is not AD in mixed mode, it's actually
an NT domain with an external trust to our AD, but I am pretty certain only
the DCs are running NT4.
This was sort of a rogue domain, since it was never approved that they would
create their own user accounts, especially since each user that enters our
organization gets one from central IT. But since it's a university that's no
surprise, is it?
By the way, it looks like USMT won' be used after all. An outgoing trust
has been set up to that domain and one of the Quest migration tools will be
used. I can't remember the name of it, but it was used to migrate our large
NT4 account domains a few years ago.

Hi Baboon,
Thank you for your update.
That could be fine if only the domain is NT 4.0 domain. And the migration
will be much easier if there is a trust between them. If you are familiar
with some tools to do this, that could be your best choice.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to let me
know.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
George Yin

I have finished the work on migrating the workstations. It turned out that
all of them were running XP, so since the trust now exists I simply used
moveuser.exe. It seems to have worked like a charm. Thankfully that is over
and we can finally collapse our last unneeded domain.
