Title: FW: Script to move user account and computer accounts
Yes, AdMod V01.07.00 has implemented the cross domain object move capability (-xdom). Note that this is specifically about moving objects... It doesn't know about nor care about any linkages to those objects. So for example, when you move a user, you need to tell the user what their new domain is... When you move a computer, you need to tell the computer what its new domain is. The first is trivial if you can find the user (them understanding may not be so trivial). The second isn't and if you are moving computer objects that have machines actually using them, use ADMT.

Look at ADMOD or ADMT for xdom move.
 
If you actually want to copy a user, look at ADMT.  Note.  ADMT won't perform a copy, when operating intra-forest, by default.  But you can configure it to do so IIRC.
 
Other options are to create a new user and copy the existing attributes, using a script or some code, excluding things like SID, UPN, etc.  If this is the route you want to take, I don't think it's detailed in a whitepaper anywhere (it might be but I've not read it).  This is something you need to implement yourself.  The problem here is that ADMT tracks source and destination objects so you can re-run it and keep the target attributes up-to-date with the source ones.  Your script won't do this by default.

Subject: [ActiveDir] FW: Script to move user account and computer accounts

Hi all

I was wondering if there is a script I can use that will move users accounts and computer accounts from one child domain to another child domain (Windows 2000).  I don’t even know where to look for this, so if someone can point me in the right direction (URL or white paper) so I don’t ask the same ignorant question twice, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Russ
