Move AD Users to another domain in Active Directory

- In this video, I demonstrate moving users from one domain to another domain.
Step 1: Export OUs from source domain.
Step 2. Export Groups from source domain.
Step 3. Export Users from source domain.
Step 4. Import OUs and groups to destination domain.
Step 5. Modify User CSV and import users to destination domain.
step 6: Verify import with PowerShell.
In this example, I moved 600 AD users from a 2019 domain to a brand new 2022 domain. I also moved 55 OUs and over 600 groups. You can keep the users details from the source domain such as group membership, address, state, city and so on. You can also change the data in the CSV file before importing it into the new or existing domain, its up to you.
This method is useful for creating test Active Directory environments, merging domains, creating new domains, consolidating domains and so on. This does not migrate SID history or profiles on users computers.

Count domain user objects:
(Get-ADUser -filter *).count
Count domain computer objects:
(Get-ADComputer -Filter *).count
Count OUs:
(Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -filter *).count
Count security groups:
(Get-ADGroup -Filter *).Count
List all properties for a user account
get-aduser -Identity username -Properties * | select city, company, GiveName
Thanks for watching!
what if the 1st domain is fully O365 and the other is hybrid? any suggestions?
Is sIDHistory attribute of a user object changed after migration?
Can you please show the sIDHistory attribute of a user?
With our software we do not migrate the sid history. This method exports and creates brand new accounts in the target domain.
@@ActiveDirectoryPro Is it possible to move object in order to create sidHistory
What is the difference between using this software and lets say, doing the same function but with powershell scripting? Aside from the GUI of course.
Ease of use and saves a lot of time. You can probably do this with PowerShell but you would need multiple scripts and would need to modify them for each domain. For those that like PowerShell and have the time, then its no big deal. If you are in a time crunch and don't want to mess with scripts then the GUI is a great alternative, plus it comes with lots of other tools and reports.
Could you please, tell me why there is no Import for the same app how can i find it to import the ou to the new server
Import OUs is under management tools -> Other tools
@@ActiveDirectoryPro could u please send me the direct link to download it
Or send me ur email I'll send u a message then u send me the app
@@ActiveDirectoryPro it's pro, but there is no import
@@sharafalshami6545 To import users go to -> User Management -> Bulk Create Users. To import groups go to -> Group Management -> Create Groups. To import OUs go to -> other tools -> Import OUs
Interesting tool. Does it also export/import user's SID?
Forget my question. In tje last minute of the video you said its not exporting SID :-)
Yes, you can export the SID. The video is old and since then we have added the SID column. Click on Columns on any user report and add the SID column. Importing of the SID is not supported.
@@ActiveDirectoryPro Excellent! Thanks for the answer.
Awesome content! Quick question, what are the some of the real-world reasons we would need to move users to a new domain? Just wondering
A lot of our customers use it to build a test domain. Other reasons include migrating or consolidating users to another domain.
Current use case that i am facing is migrating the domain service which includes deleting and recreating. because of this all the trust relationship is broken and all data is lost. need to import all previous configurations.
