I'm about to complete a swing migration that I've taken my time to complete (1 month at least)
I'm sure that the I'll need to rejoin the client computers according to the troubleshooting tip 5. My question is: When I rejoin the client computer to the domain, Should I use the conneccomputer wizard to accomplish it?
Regards

Did you use Jeff's Swing Kit for your migration? If so, you shouldn't need to rejoin the PCs to the domain. One of the main goals of Jeff's migration is that at the end of the steps, you should just be able to connect the PCs to the new server without having to re-join them. Why do you think they will have to be re-joined to the domain?

Only thing may be your outlook clients that cannot get a referral to the correct Exchange-server. But that can be fixed by pushing a PRF or changing servername in the profile another way..

Any reason you cannot start the swing again and get it completed quicker?
 
I haven't read all of Jeff's documentaion(assuming your using his doco) but I would suspect he explains in great detail options for rejoining the workstations.
 
Some reading on reseting the secure channel
 
Example 26 in this doc

Stan:The computers passwords last at most 30 days, i'm way past that.
Steve: reason: As you can see it is my hobby, and everybody at the office is pressuring me to get the server up and running NOW. Thank for the documents
Anyway, I'm going to experiment with a laptop that nobody uses but me and transfer it to the new server. I'll post my results.

The procedure for re-joioning them is really straight forward. Take them off of the domain while they are connected to the old server and put them into a workgroup. Then attach them to the new server, log on as a user in the workgroup and join them with to the new server with the http://servername/connectcomputer. You might want to backup the user profiles before you start so you can put the users profiles back in place after the PC is joined to the new domain.
