ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are described for facilitating the migration of accounts from a source domain to a target domain in a computer network without affecting the capability of users and services associated with the source domain to access source domain resources after the users' and services' accounts have been migrated to the target domain. Migrating source domain accounts is facilitated by a dual-identity Domain Controller having simultaneous access to replicating mechanisms of both the source domain and the target domain. When accounts are migrated to a directory service of objects for the target domain, the accounts are modified to include security information defining access rights of the migrated accounts within the target domain. Security information relating to an account's access rights in the source domain is preserved in the migrated account stored in the target domain directory service of objects databases.
