Re: dsmove failed

I would attempt to just use the Active Directory Users and Computers within the mmc console. This will prevent any keying errors.

Is there a reason why you don't just use ADUC?

I submitted the command as (I have substituted the exact names with examples)

dsmove "cn=surname\, firstname,ou=ouname,dc=domain,dc=domain,dc=domain"
-newparent ou=ouname,dc=domain,dc=domain,dc=domain

the command has worked for nearly all of the users I need to move however
there are just 2 left where this error occurs and the users account is not
moved.
