Move AD Users to another domain in Active Directory

In this video, I demonstrate moving users from one domain to another domain.

Step 1: Export OUs from source domain.
Step 2. Export Groups from source domain.
Step 3. Export Users from source domain.
Step 4. Import OUs and groups to destination domain.
Step 5. Modify User CSV and import users to destination domain.
step 6: Verify import with PowerShell.

In this example, I moved 600 AD users from a 2019 domain to a brand new 2022 domain. I also moved 55 OUs and over 600 groups. You can keep the users details from the source domain such as group membership, address, state, city and so on. You can also change the data in the CSV file before importing it into the new or existing domain, its up to you.

This method is useful for creating test Active Directory environments, merging domains, creating new domains, consolidating domains and so on. This does not migrate SID history or profiles on users computers.
