Hi,
I'm in test mode of migrating users from a NT2000 domain to a NT2003 domain (different forests). Users are all roaming profiles with their My Documents, Desktop, and Application Data folders redirected. Their profiles and redirected folders are all stored on a DFSr replicated share in the destination domain. Profiles are set up in the user properties as \\newdomain.local\User\Profile\%USERNAME% and the redirects are referred to as \\newdomain.local\User\Redirect\%USERNAME%.
I'm running ADMT v3 in the destination domain DC. My testing is at the first user so I'm using the GUI unscripted. I'm checking the translate roaming profiles box. The test user's profile folder is owned by the newdomain.local\administrators and I'm running ADMT as the domain administrator.
The log indicates the NTUSER.DAT cannot be found. The folder it refers to \\newdomain.local\c$\DFSRoots\User\Profile\testuser doesn't exist. \\newdomain.local\User\Profile\testuser does though and is the correct location. The c$\DFSRoots path may be ok as it may be correct for the DFS infrastructure and maybe my problem lies elsewhere.
Here is the log:

Perhaps ADMT v3 isn't 2003 R2 DFS compatible?
TIA
