SYMPTOMS

When a client migrates from a Microsoft Windows 2000 domain to another Windows 2000 domain using the Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT), the following error message may be displayed in the migration log:
2000-06-27 13:02:50-Active Directory Migration Tool, Starting...
2000-06-27 13:02:50-Starting Account Replicator.
2000-06-27 13:02:50-Account Migration ADMTTECH MMSTECH CopyUsers:Yes CopyGlobalGroups:No CopyLocalGroups:No CopyComputers:No
2000-06-27 13:02:51-User account CN=ericstad will be moved.
2000-06-27 13:02:51-Removing CN=user1 (LDAP://Server1/CN=user1,OU=ADMT,DC=ADMTTECH,DC=MMSTECH,DC=com) from the global groups it is a member of :

2000-06-27 13:02:51-E26126: Failed to move object CN=user1, hr=800720e4 The naming context could not be found.

2000-06-27 13:02:51-Operation completed.
When the user traces the errors, the following error message may be displayed:
LDAP: ProtocolOp: ModifyDNResponse (13)
LDAP: ProtocolOp = ModifyDNResponse
LDAP: Result Code = Unwilling to Perform
LDAP: Error Message = 000020E4: SvcErr: DSID-031B02E2, problem 5003 (WILL_NOT_PERFORM)

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because all of the domain names in the parent domain of a parent or child domain relationship are in capital letters. This same behavior can occur with the MoveTree utility if you specify the domain name in capital letters. However, the MoveTree utility enables you to specify lowercase domain names, whereas ADMT does not.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, use the MoveTree utility to move the users from one Windows 2000 domain to another. This utility is located in the Support Tools folder of the Microsoft Windows 2000 CD-ROM,
