DFS upgrade - Windows 2000 to Windows 2012 R2, cross Domain

$

Hi there,

Is it possible to do a direct migration between a Windows 2000 DFS environment in one domain (Domain A), which presently holds ALL DFS configuration and also hosts the NAS-connected data, to a Windows 2012 R2 environment (Domain B) on a different domain, with a two way trust established.

Are there are schema differences, DFS version setup or other gotcha which needs special consideration?

Additionally, at present users from Domain B can access the Win2000 DFS namespace via the trust and a set of security groups replicated via Quest Migrator between Domain A to Domain B.  If after the DFS migration Domain A is decommissioned and the shares with the data brought into Domain B, what access permissions issue could potentially be encountered?

This is a new environment for me and still picking up how it's all configured, but would appreciate any thoughts on the above in the meantime.

Regards,

Martin
