SYMPTOMS
When you use the Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) command line to migrate a user, the user may be migrated to the root of the target domain. For example:

admt user /sd: /td:  /n:\user1



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because you did not specify an Organizational Unit (OU) in the command line.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, include the /to: switch with the name of the target OU. You can also create an Options file that includes the TargetOU parameter.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
