Remigrating All Global Groups Following User Account Migration
A large user account migration might take place over an extended period of time. For this reason, you might need to remigrate global groups from the source to the target domain after you migrate each batch of users, to reflect changes made to the membership of groups in the source domain after the initial global group migration occurred. For more information about, and procedures, for remigrating global groups, see Remigrating All Global Groups After All Batches Are Migrated, later in this guide.
Remigrating All Global Groups After All Batches Are Migrated
After all batches have been migrated, perform a final global group remigration to ensure that any late changes made to global group membership in the source domain are reflected in the target domain. You can remigrate global groups by using the ADMT console, the ADMT command-line option, or a script.
To remigrate global groups by using the ADMT console
1. On the computer in the target domain on which ADMT is installed, log on by using the ADMT account migration account.
2. Use the Group Account Migration Wizard by following the steps provided in the following table.
Wizard Page Action
Domain Selection Under Source, in the Domain drop-down list, type or select the NetBIOS or Domain Name System (DNS) name of the source domain. In the Domain controller drop-down list, type or select the name of the domain controller, or select Any domain controller.
Under Target, in the Domain drop-down list, type or select the NetBIOS or DNS name of the target domain. In the Domain controller drop-down list, type or select the name of the domain controller, or select Any domain controller, and then click Next.
Group Selection Click Select groups from domain,
and then click Next. On the Group Selection page, click Add to select the groups in the source domain that you want to migrate, click OK, and then click Next.
- or -
Click Read objects from an include file, and then click Next. Type the location of the include file, and then click Next.
Organizational Unit Selection Type the name of the OU, or click Browse.
In the Browse for Container dialog box, find the container in the target domain that you want to move the global groups into, and then click OK.
Group Options Click Update user rights.
Ensure that Copy group members is not selected.
Ensure that Update previously migrated objects is not selected.
Click Fix membership of group.
Click Migrate Group SIDs to target domain.
User Account Type the user name, password, and
domain of an account that has administrative rights in the source domain.
Object Property Exclusion Clear the Exclude specific object properties from migration check box.
Conflict Management Select the Migrate and merge conflicting objects check box (all other options are cleared).
3. When the wizard has finished running, click View Log, and review the migration log for any errors.
4. Open Active Directory Users and Computers and locate the target OU. Verify that the global groups exist in the target domain OU.
To remigrate global groups by using the ADMT command-line option 1. On the computer in the target domain on which ADMT is installed, log on by
using the ADMT account migration account.
2. At the command line, type the ADMT Group command with the appropriate parameters. For example:
ADMT GROUP /N "group_name1" "group_name2" /SD:"source_domain"
/TD:"target domain" /TO:"target OU" /MSS:YES /CO:REPLACE
Alternatively, you can include parameters in an option file that is specified at the command line as follows:
ADMT GROUP /N "group_name1" "group_name2" /O: "option_file.txt"
The following table lists the common parameters used for migrating global
groups, along with the command-line parameter and option file equivalents.
Parameters Command-Line Syntax Option File Syntax
Source domain /SD:"source_domain" SourceDomain="source_domain"
Source OU location
/SO:"source_OU" SourceOU="source_OU"
Target domain /TD:"target_domain" TargetDomain="target_domain"
Target OU location
/TO:"target_OU" TargetOU="target_OU"
Migrate GG SIDs /MSS:YES MigrateSIDs=YES
Conflict management
/CO:REPLACE ConflictOptions=REPLACE
3. Review the results that are displayed on the screen for any errors.
4. Open Active Directory Users and Computers and locate the target OU. Verify that the global groups exist in the target domain OU.
To remigrate global groups by using a script
• Prepare a script that incorporates ADMT commands and options for migrating global groups by using the sample script shown in the following listing. Copy the script to Notepad, and save the file with a .wsf file name extension in the same folder as the AdmtConstants.vbs file.
