PostMigMachChk is a simple console utility that can be used to verify that a remote PC is in the target domain.


PostMigMachChk was created in 2003 due to frustrations encountered when trying to quickly migrate PCs from many NT resource domains to a new AD domain using ADMT v2. PostMigMachChk simply checks a remote PC to verify that it is in the specified domain, and optionally sets the default domain for next logon to the target domain.

Syntax:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PostMigMachChk /M {NetBIOS_Name | IP_Address} /T TARGET_DOMAIN [/S]

Verifies that a remote PC is in the target domain specified with the /T switch. Use the /S switch if you want to set the default domain name value to the
target domain. Exits with error code 0 if all goes well.

/M (required): Specify the host to check
/T (required): Specify the TARGET domain we are migrating to
/S (optional): Set default domain to target domain for next logon


NOTE: The use of the /S switch does not stop someone from manually selecting another domain. It simply sets the default. Also, host and domain names should
be NetBIOS names. If a FQDN is passed it will be truncated to the leftmost label up to the first 15 characters.

Exit codes:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0   - All checks were successful.

1   - Could not resolve hostname or host offline.

2   - Can not access. Non-NT host or locked down.

4   - NetBIOS name does not match.

8   - Remote PC is NOT in target domain (as specified with the /T switch).

16  - Access denied to remote registry.

32  - Could not verify the current default domain name.

64  - Could not change the default domain name.


Example:

PostMigMachChk.exe /M rmtwrkstation /T ADDOMAIN /s
 + Resolved hostname to: 192.168.2.161
 + Remote PC is in target domain: ADDOMAIN
 + DefaultDomainName value is already set to: ADDOMAIN
 + AltDefaultDomainName value is already set to: ADDOMAIN
