Active Directory

How can I move multiple users between organizational units (OUs)?

You can move individual users between OUs by right-clicking the user in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in and selecting Move. To move multiple users, perform the following steps:

  1. Start the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in (go to Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, and click Active Directory Users and Computers).
  2. Open the OU that contains the users you want to move.
  3. Select multiple users by holding down Ctrl and selecting each user (if the users are in sequence, you can select them all by left-clicking the first name, holding down Shift, then left-clicking the last name).
  4. Right-click the last user you selected, and select Move from the context menu.
  5. Select the destination OU, and click OK.
How can I raise my domain to use the Windows .NET Server (Win.NET Server) 2003 domain mode?

Raising a domain is a one-way process that you can't reverse. Therefore, before you proceed, review the FAQ titled "What are the Windows .NET Server (Win.NET Server) 2003 domain and forest modes?" to ensure that you can raise your domain. To raise your domain, perform the following steps:

  1. Log on as a domain administrator to a domain controller (DC) or a machine running the Win.NET Server administration tools.

  2. Start the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Active Directory Domains and Trusts snap-in or the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in (go to Start, Programs, and select Administrative Tools).

  3. Right-click the domain, then select the Raise Domain Functional Level option from the context menu--Windows will display the current domain mode.

  4. Select the new domain mode, then click Raise.

  5. Click OK to close the confirmation dialog box.

Windows will inform you that it has completed the change and will replicate the change to the remaining DCs.

How can I raise my forest to use the Windows .NET Server (Win.NET Server) 2003 forest mode?

Raising a forest is a one-way process that you can't reverse. All domains in the forest must be in Windows 2000 native mode or later--if they aren't, the upgrade will fail and Windows will display a warning. During the upgrade, Windows will raise any Win2K native-mode domains to Win.NET Server domain level. To raise your forest, perform the following steps:

  1. Log on as a domain administrator of the root domain to a domain controller (DC) or a machine running the Win.NET Server administration tools.

  2. Start the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Active Directory Domains and Trusts snap-in (go to Start, Programs, and select Administrative Tools).

  3. Right-click the root (i.e., Active Directory Domains and Trusts), then select the Raise Forest Functional Level option from the context menu--Windows will display the current forest mode.

  4. Select the new forest mode, then click Raise.

  5. Click OK to close the confirmation dialog box.

Windows will inform you that it has completed the change and will replicate the change to all DCs.
