There is no easy way to do this. A simple backup/restore procedure won't
work because you're going from one domain to the other and it also sounds
like your schema in your test environment doesn't match the one in
production. I'd take a look at what properties have been included in your
test environment's schema that aren't in your production's schema.

Finally, you may simply need to re-code and re-install each individual
customization in your production environment.
