Abstract
A system and method for migrating a directory across a network. In one embodiment a computer network implements a method comprising accessing a stored directory in a first domain of a computer network, copying the directory to a second domain of said computer network, creating an indication that the directory has been copied to the second domain and accessing the directory on the second domain. The method may be triggered by a user locally logging on to the second domain. The method may also occur in response to a request for directory migration provided by a user. In further embodiments, the directory may migrate to additional domains, and may ultimately migrate back to the first domain.
