Re: dsmove failed

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Well I have to take this back on the move between domains, what was I thinking. There is a program specifically written for movement (migration). You can use ADMT as part of a migration and that is what you should be using if you are going from domain to domain.

I am totally unaware of any program that will simply move users from one domain to another, this includes dsmove. I have no experience if this does this. I would be curious to see your command line that does it. Because I went and reread the documentation and there is no mention of domain to domain functionality.

From Microsoft:
a.. Dsmove.exe
This tool moves any object from its current location in the directory to a new location (provided that the move can be accommodated in a single domain controller) and renames an object without moving it in the directory tree.

I don't think it was a typo but i will try piping output from ds query if it
happens again.
Paul - I'm not using the ADUC console because the users need to move into a
new domain and the console only appears to let you move users to new OU's
within the same domain.

JC - any chance you have a typo? Have you tried piping output of dsquery
(using the -name "surname, firstname" attribute) into dsmove to avoid it?
