Migration between domains

How do I avoid the "access denied" error message when installing agents?

When I try to install migration agents on the machines in my old domain, I get an "access denied" error message. And yet I am logged on as administrator of the new domain.

IDEAL Migration uses NT/2000 privileges for installing services and modifying the registries of remote machines. This means that the administrator who is using IDEAL Migration must have administration privileges (Overall group: domain Admins) on the remote machines. Otherwise it's impossible to manage them correctly.

We therefore recommend that you establish an approval relationship between your domains so as to resolve any problems related to access permissions.
