This post will look at preparing your workstations and servers to work with ADMT and to make sure you give ADMT the correct permissions and connectivity.
Local Administrators Group
The ADMT Migration Account that you use to migrate workstations and member servers must have local administrator rights in the the source domain. If you don’t the ADMT agent cannot be deployed which will result in errors such as:
ERR2:7006 Failed to install agent on \\xp1.source.local, rc=5 Access is denied.
ERR2:7674 Unable to determine the local path for ADMIN share on the machine 'xp1.source.local'. rc=-2147024891
We’ll look at two ways to achieve this with group policy.
Method 1. Restricted Groups
Create a Domain Local Security Group in the Source Domain, add the ADMT Service Account (ADMTUser in my case) to the group. You may decide to simply add the domain admins group from the target domain, as this includes the ADMTUser account. Also the Domain Admins group will get automatically added when the computers are migrated. The end result is the same though.
Create a new GPO and link it to the OU with the computer objects in.
Give it a name.
