I suppose so. I thought you also wanted to create a replica in the sense that password last set, password history, password, etc would also come over?
I don't know of anything that can take you from one directory to another and retain such information, although for some of that you likely could if you really tried hard.
For a one time move, I'm not sure there's a lot that would do this. I don't believe even ADMT would be able to help with this type of move although you may want to look at that and the third-party migration tools to see if one exists for ADAM and if so, what it will and won't bring over. I'd be surprised if it brought over all of it including password history, password last set, etc. Wouldn't make a lot of sense to me if it did.
Outside of some magical migration utility, my guess is you'll have to either write it yourself else accept some lost pieces in the copy-create_new-delete_old process. To that end, you may want to create a list of absolute must have components that must move and those that it would be nice if they did but you could tolerate if they didn't. By tolerate I mean you can either live with it, else come up with an acceptable workaround.

We are using the server move as an opportunity to clean up the schema and

read, deleting them from an existing schema is difficult, so we wanted to
rebuild the schema from scratch on the new server, then copy the objects
over.
Does this make sense?
