cause
Domain Migration Administrator offers the folloiwng approaches for renaming accounts during migration:
- Use the Rename all accounts with a Prefix/Suffix option when you specify your migration
- Use database modeling to specify new account names
Any names specified in the database model overwrite any changes specified using Rename all accounts with a Prefix/Suffix.
fix
Select the Prefix/Suffix option or the Database Modeling option to rename the accounts appropriately, depending on the results you want.
For more information, see Appendix F, How DMA Migrates and Renames Computers and How DMA Handles Data Modeling in the DMA & SC User Guide.
