Active Directory Users

You can specify Active Directory users on the command line by listing the active directory name before the user name.

Wildcards and variables are supported to specify users and active directory containers.

Although you can use wildcards, placing an asterisk in the first position of a user command line has a special meaning to select all users (wild card user) regardless of their Active Directory status. To select only users in an Active Directory (and not migration local or special users), place a question mark (?) in front of the asterisk (*) as in the examples that follow.

The syntax to migrate domain users is as follows:

/user <active directory>[(\<container>)|(\<organizational unit>)+]\<user name>

Rules for containers and organizational units:

Example 1: Migrate Active Directory User in a Container

The following command migrates user Michael Smith that belongs to:

Active Directory: PM.ca.com

Container: Users

User: Michael.Smith

/user PM.ca.com\Users\Michael.Smith

Example 2: Migrate a User with Two Organizational Units

The following example migrates user Michael Smith that belongs to:

Active Directory: engineering.ca.com

Organizational Unit: Enterprise

Organizational Unit: Engineer

/user engineering.ca.com\Enterprise\Engineer\Michael.Smith

Example 3: Migrate any Active Directory User with Two Organizational Units

The following example migrates any users on the system that belongs to:

Active Directory: Any Active Directory

Organizational Unit: Any organizational unit

Organizational Unit: Any organizational unit
