SYMPTOMS
The Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) performs a migration of objects from Microsoft Windows NT 4.0-based or Windows 2000-based domains to a Windows 2000 Active Directory Native-mode domain. You can use the ADMT to migrate users, groups, and computers. When you perform a migration, the following error message may occur:

Failed to move object, hr=800720e4. The naming context could not be found.

This sample error would appear in the ADMT reports as something like this:
