<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>We are dealing with a Unity 4.1(1.0) UM server that has been
orphaned from its domain. The original domain was completely removed and
there is no way to restore at this point. The customer is completely without
VM at the present. I was planning on using DiRT to complete a backup
before I started trying any type of migration, but Unity needs to be online for
this and it will not start. The customer has also requested an
upgrade of Unity.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Since DiRT did not work, I used Cobras to perform an export
and it seems to have gathered all the names, prompts, and directory
handlers. Based on the information above, should I just install with the latest
plat DVD, join their new domain, install Unity 5.0(1) UM and attempt the
re-import with the built in mapping tool, to take into an account any alias
changes, that comes with Cobras?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Another thought I had was to extend the schema of their
current domain, join the current server to their new domain, re-establish
permissions, verify integration, and then upgrade to Unity 5.0(1).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
