I want to rename accounts during migration using database modeling.

Accounts do not appear to be renamed after migration.

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.
