How to Run Active Directory Connector (ADC) Tools

  • Article

 

Active Directory Connector (ADC) Tools are used to lead you through the process of confirming that your Exchange 5.5 directory and mailboxes are ready for migration. ADC Tools are a collection of wizards and utilities that help you set up and configure your connection agreements. The tools also ensure that replication between your Windows NT 4.0 organization and Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 is functioning properly.

Procedure

To run ADC Tools

  1. On your ADC server, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click Active Directory Connector.

  2. In the console tree, click ADC Tools.

  3. Follow the steps indicated in the ADC Tools details pane.

    Note

    On the Set Credentials page, click Set Credentials to provide the administrator name and password for each site. Enter the name in the domain\username format.

    Note

    On the Site Connections page it is recommended that you choose a two-way connection. One way connections are useful for testing how objects will replicate to Active Directory. However, in a production environment, directory objects should replicate both to and from Active Directory and the Exchange 5.5 directory.

    Note

    There is a group named Everyone that is not replicated. Because of this, the ADC Tools will always report at least one warning.
