Group migration

With the group migration feature in ADManager Plus, migrate groups across the domains in your Active Directory environment with their members, SID, and more intact.

Steps to migrate AD groups using ADManager Plus:

1. Log in to ADManager Plus and navigate to the Management tab.
2. In the left pane, click Migration.
3. Under Migration, click Group Migration.
4. Select the domain from which you'd like to move groups in the Source Domain field.
5. Select the groups that you'd like to migrate in the Select Group(s) to be Migrated field.
6. In the Migration Settings field, select the domain and OU to which you'd like to move the selected groups in the Target Domain and Target OU fields, respectively.
7. You can choose to migrate groups using ADManager Plus or using ADMT.
   • If you'd like to migrate using ADManager Plus, uncheck the Migrate Using ADMT option.
   • If you'd like to migrate using ADMT, check the Migrate Using ADMT option and select the required options:
     • Migrate group SIDs to target domain: This option is enabled by default and cannot be edited. This ensures that the selected groups' SID history is migrated from the source domain to the target domain during migration.
     • Fix membership of group: This option is enabled by default and cannot be edited. This ensures that the migrated groups are added to the groups in the target domain that they were members of in the source domain during migration.
     • Update user rights: Select this option to update the user rights in the target domain.
     • Copy group members: Select this option to copy the groups along with their members from the source domain to the target domain.
8. The Do not migrate source object if a conflict is detected in the target domain option in the Conflict Management field indicates that a group will not be migrated when there's a conflicting object in the target domain.
9. Click Generate & Preview to get a list of the selected groups.
10. Click Migrate Now to migrate the selected groups.
