SYMPTOMS

When you try to use the Active Directory Migration Tool to migrate a user account, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:
Cannot add user to CN group, because user has not been migrated to the target domain.
User is the name of the user who you are trying to migrate, and group is the group or organizational unit to which you want to add a user.

CAUSE

This issue may occur if you rename or move a user account to a different group or organizational unit, and then immediately migrate the user account again to another group or organizational unit.
