Migrating Users to AD.

Hi every one,

I'm new on macosx.com, and I'm new in using Mac OSX, I have MacMini, and I wanted to bind it to Windows 2008 AD, and I did it, using likewise.
The next step is to Migrate users to AD, Accually I don't get the idea in total, But I can understand that the new profile of every user must be binded to the AD, which means Migration.
The Mac is now on the Domain, but I can't log using my Domain accounts, because of the Migration step is not done.
In the Document of likewise, I had these:
About Diagnostics and Migration
The Likewise Diagnostics and Migration page in the Likewise Management Console includes two tools to help manage a mixed network:

Find Orphaned Objects

Run Migration Tool

An orphaned object is a linked object, such as a Unix user ID or group ID, that remains in a cell after you delete a group or user's security identifier, or SID, from an Active Directory domain. The Find Orphaned Objects tool cleans up manually assigned user IDs and improves search speed.

The NIS migration tool imports Linux and Unix passwd files and group files and maps them to users and groups in Active Directory. The tool lets you resolve conflicts and ambiguous user names before you commit the changes.

The migration tool includes options to ease your NIS migration to Active Directory and to handle various requirements:

Migrate account information to the organizational units that you want.

Create groups in Active Directory to match your Linux and Unix groups.

Generate scripts to repair file ownership and group settings.

Change the GID of imported users to that of the AD Domain Users group.

Automatically set an alias for each migrated user.

Generate Visual Basic scripts to migrate users and groups in an automated and custom way.

Modify GIDs during migration.

Select only the groups and users that you want to migrate from your full list of groups and users.

Set the home directory and shell for migrated users.

Filter out standard Unix and Linux accounts, such as mail and news.

Modify UID information during migration.

Use NIS map files to migrate netgroups, automounts, and other services to Active Directory.


I hope someone may help, and I'm in progress with the document...

Thanks In advance..
