SUMMARY
You can only use the MoveTree tool to move users between domains in the same forest; this process is known as intra-forest migration. You cannot use MoveTree to move users between domains in separate forests, which is also known as inter-forest migrations.

You cannot use MoveTree for inter-forest migration even if an external trust exists between the two domains that are involved.
