Resolution

fact
Domain Migration Administrator 7.x

symptom
Error: 'Failed to add SID history for xxx to xxx  RC=1376'

symptom
The sourcenetBIOSDomainName$$$ local group is not listed on the PDC or PDC Emulator of the source domain.

cause
This error appears in the Migration.log file when the local group, sourcenetBIOSDomainName$$$, does not exist on the Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or PDC Emulator of the source domain. This group must be present for the SID history migration process to be successful.

fix

Ensure that the sourcenetBIOSDomainName$$$ group is available.  This existence of this group is a condition required for successful migration of SIDs.

To create the sourcenetBIOSDomainName$$$ group on Windows NT domains:

  1. Click Start > Programs > Administrative Tools (Common).

  2. Click User Manger for Domains.

  3. Create a Local Group. Name the group using the netBIOS name of the source domain with 3 dollar signs appended to the end of the name (sourceDomain$$$).

To create the sourcenetBIOSDomainName$$$ group on Active Directory domains:

  1. Click Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers.

  2. In the left pane, right-click Active Directory Users and Computers [dcname].

  3. Select Action >Connect to domain controller.

  4. Type the name of the source domain PDC Emulator.

  5. Click OK.

  6. In the left pane, select the object in which you want to create the group.

  7. Click Action > New > Group.

  8. Create a new Domain Local group using the netBIOS name of the source domain with 3 dollar signs appended to the end of the name (sourceDomain$$$).
