SYMPTOMS
When you migrate empty groups from source domains to a Windows 2000-based destination domain, the Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) continues to process &quot;fixusergroupmembership&quot; updates even if you click to clear the Copy group members check box in the Group Migration Wizard. When ADMT continues to process fixusergroupmembership updates:
 * ADMT can only perform group membership fixes if the user accounts that were members of the migrated group were also migrated. Any attempt to update membership does not work

-and-
 * Group membership performance is slow in ADMT version 1.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, download and install the latest version of ADMT from the following Microsoft Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/tools/admt/default.asp



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
ADMT migrates users, computers, and groups from Microsoft Windows NT 4.0-based and Windows 2000-based source domains to Native mode Windows 2000-based destination domains.

When you migrate groups from source domains to destination domains, administrators have the option of simultaneously migrate the member users of those groups or only migrate the groups. If you migrate the empty groups, you can maintain the same group names and reevaluate group membership in the destination domain. If you migrate groups with Security Identifier (SID) history, members in the migrated group can gain access to resources in the destination account or in the resource domains.
