You are supposed to use the Active Directory Migration Tool. Hunt it down
on MS's site and also do a lot of reading on migration in this
situation,...there is a lot to deal with and a lot that will bit you in the
rear-end if you aren't careful. The are a lot of different
scenarios,...*don't* pick the wrong one. Hopefully you have not messed it
up at this point to where the ADMT won't help.
