ADMT Command-line Examples |
Open Command Prompt |
Example 1: Identifying Service Accounts
In this example, the computer Member1 is searched for services not using the LocalSystem account. Information about these accounts on Member1 is noted in the ADMT database.
Only those settings which differ from the default settings of ADMT need to be specified at the command prompt. The following table shows the parameters needed and notes which actions occur by default. Default actions will be left out of the command.
Action | Command |
---|---|
Specify the name of the computer to search | /N "AliceG" "BobA" |
Specify source domain | /SD:"NY-ACCT" |
Specify target domain | /TD:"reskit.com" |
Open Notepad and type the following command:
ADMT service /N "Member1" /SD:"NY-ACCT" /TD:"reskit.com"
On the computer that has ADMT installed save this file as ServAccMig.cmd. Open the command prompt and change to the directory containing the ServAccMig.cmd file. Type the following command and press Enter:
ServAccMig.cmd
Example 2: Migrating User Accounts
In this example, the user accounts AliceG and BobA are migrated from the NY-ACCT source domain to the reskit.com target domain. The target organizational unit is NY-ACCT. During the migration complex passwords are generated and stored in a file called password.txt. This file is saved in the C:\Program Files\Active Directory Migration Tool\Logs directory. This example leaves both accounts enabled after migration, migrates source SIDS, translates roaming profiles, updates user rights, does not rename accounts with duplicate names in the target domain, replaces duplicate user accounts that already exist in the target domain with those from the source domain.
Only those settings which differ from the default settings of ADMT need to be specified at the command prompt. The following table shows the parameters needed and notes which actions occur by default. Default actions will be left out of the command.
Action | Command |
---|---|
Specify user accounts to migrate | /N "AliceG" "BobA" |
Specify source domain | /SD:"NY-ACCT" |
Specify target domain | /TD:"reskit.com" |
Specify target OU | /TO:"NY-ACCT" |
Specify password generation | /PO:Complex |
Specify location and name of password file | /PF:"C:\Program Files\Active Directory Migration Tool\Logs\Password.txt" |
Migrate source user SID to target account | /MSS:Yes |
Translate existing roaming profiles | /TRP:Yes |
Specifies rename action when a duplicate account exists in the target domain | /RO:Dont (This default action does not need to be specified in the command.) |
Replace existing accounts in the target domain with the account in the source domain | /CO:Replace |
Open Notepad and type the following command:
ADMT user /N "AliceG" "BobA" /SD:"NY-ACCT" /TD:"reskit.com" /TO:"NY-ACCT" /PO:Complex /PF:"C:\Program Files\Active Directory Migration Tool\Logs\Password.txt" /MSS:Yes /TRP:Yes /CO:Replace
On the computer that has ADMT installed save this file as UserAccMig.cmd. Open the command prompt and change to the directory containing the UserAccMig.cmd file. Type the following command and press Enter:
UserAccMig.cmd
Example 3: Migrating Computers
In this example, the member server Member1 is migrated from the NY-ACCT source domain to the reskit.com target domain. The target organizational unit for the computer account is NY-ACCT. During the migration the computer will be set to reboot one minute after completion of the migration, duplicate accounts will not be renamed, nor will they be migrated.
Only those settings which differ from the default settings of ADMT need to be specified at the command prompt. The following table shows the parameters needed and notes which actions occur by default. Default actions will be left out of the command.
Action | Command |
