Trying to determine the most "efficient" way to migrate computer objects and the articles in the forum are a little bit confusing (this is how I see it at the moment). The requirement is for the new computer objects to be created in a single OU in the target domain (no OU structure to be carried over from the source domain), while there is a possibility that some computer objects have to be renamed. The approach used in the past (do not recall the exact MM and RUM versions) was to create text lists with source and target computer names and create migration sessions. This way we had the option to either use pre-created computer objects (in disabled mode) or create the computer objects on the fly.
I am trying to understand if this approach is still valid (and if not, why not. I read somewhere that this approach is causing issues). On the other hand I am strongly tempted to use the RUM to create the computer objects, however I am not sure how to use the text lists. The documentation describes the format for selecting computer objects using a text file, but not for the renaming. Even more, how to specifically create a computer object in RUM with name different from the source (e.g. if the target computer name already exists)
Thank you in advance
