Intraforest Active Directory Domain Restructure

Applies to: Active Directory Migration Tool 3.1 (ADMT 3.1) and ADMT 3.2

Reducing the number of Active Directory domains in your forest in turn reduces or simplifies the following:

• Administration requirements for your organization
  
  
• Replication traffic
  
  
• User and group administration
  
  
• Implementation of Group Policy
  
  

If users are frequently reassigned to locations that are part of different domains, you might also migrate objects between domains on a regular basis. The process for restructuring Active Directory domains within a forest differs from the process for restructuring Active Directory domains between forests. This process requires careful planning and testing.
