Perform Prerequisite Tasks
Creating a Template Object
The first prerequisite task is to determine whether you want to use a Template
object to migrate your NT users to the destination NDS tree.
A Template object is used to define additional NDS User attributes for NT
users during the migration. Template objects are especially useful for defining
additional attributes that are not found in the Windows NT domains. We
recommend that you use a Template object because it is an organized way to
migrate your NT users to the NDS tree and manage them once they are there.
IMPORTANT: In order to migrate home directories, you must use a Template
object.
