Microsoft recommends SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with SP3 or later, as well as SQL Server 2008 Express Edition with SP1 or later for this job. Migrate objects between domains using Active Directoryīefore proceeding with the installation, it's necessary to set up an SQL Server database that will be used by the application to establish the database connection for Active Directory. I supposed that if I had to, I could use the USMT to back up workstation profiles, have the users log onto their workstations under their new domain accounts (thereby creating a fresh profile) and then restore data via USMT, but that's a lot more work, and probably won't preserve all of the customizations that the users have established on their workstations.Īny thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) is a free software utility released by Microsoft to help users migrate users, groups of users, computers and other types of objects between domains on Windows Server editions using Active Directory.

Has anyone found a work-around or an alternative for this, or might anyone have an inside line on if or when Microsoft might update ADMT to properly support Windows 10? (Might be nice if your tools supported your flagship operating system, Microsoft jus' sayin'.) After running the security translation on a Windows 10 workstation, the Start menu will not open, the Settings application does not start, and no built-in or Store (aka Modern) apps will open. However, as documented in the above-referenced link, the tool does not work correctly on workstations running Windows 10. Hello - I need to perform a cross-forest migration for the organization that I work for, but have encountered a potentially show-stopper issue related to the current version of the Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT), v3.2, as documented here.īasically, the Security Translation feature of ADMT is supposed to allow the conversion of user profiles on a local computer from the original source domain to the target domain.
