Is it possible to migrate Users and OUs with an import file (4233183)

While using an import file containing a list of users located in different OUs in the source, is it possible to  migrate them  to different OUs in the target?

The following aproach can be utilized:

I. CREATING  IMPORT FILE
1. Create a new migration job and only go as far as selecting the Source objects.
2. Select  the very top level  in the source domain.
Tip: When right clicking and choosing "Select" on the OU  it will then mark only this OU without any sub-containers and  other objects. This is useful if not all sub-containers need to be included.
3. Select Export and make sure distinguishedName attribute is selected. When the window "Export Selection to File" opens just select browse and save it.
4. Select Cancel and exit the migration job.
5. Open the exported file in either Excel or some other program so you can sort the items in it. Ensure it has "distinguishedName" in the header.
6. You can further edit this list to keep only those OUs and objects you want to be  migrate.   Once finished save the file as a text file.

Note: Other means can also be used to obtain the required import file.

II. CONFIGURING THE SESSION - SINGLE OU
There  is a group of users  to be migrated from  OU Test.    Please create single import file as follows:

distinguishedName
OU=Test,DC=sourcedomain,DC=com
CN=User1,OU=Test,DC=sourcedomain,DC=com
CN=User2,OU=Test,DC=sourcedomain,DC=com

1.   Create a new migration job.
2. Specify an import file.
3. Continue selecting the target root.   Make sure  the option: "Migrate selected objects with their OUs to the selected target OU" is selected.
4.   Continue with the rest of the migration options.

The migration will run and create the new OU in the target and the user accounts will be populated in the new OU.

Note:  It is also possible to specify users and OUs import files separately - in this case you must select the users import file first and then the OUs import file second.    Selecting the OUs file first and then the user accounts import file will  created the user accounts in the root of the  target.

III. CONFIGURING THE SESSION -  MULTIPLE OUs

Source Domain
OUs
Test
Test1

Users in OU Test
User1
User2

Users in OU Test1
User1-1
User1-2

You want  only User1 and User 1-1  objects  to go to the following locations in the target:

Target Domain
OUs
Test
Test1

User to OU Test in target
User1

User to  OU Test1 in target
User1-1

In this case, using the previous information,  all that is  needed  is to make sure the  import file  looks as follows:

distinguishedName
OU=Test,DC=sourcedomain,DC=com
OU=Test1,DC=sourcedomain,DC=com
CN=User1,OU=Test,DC=sourcedomain,DC=com
CN=User1-1,OU=Test1,DC=sourcedomain,DC=com

The tool will mirror the source domain relative user-OU structure to the target.   QMM cannot re-direct user accounts to other OUs using  an import file.

Import files should end with a carriage return as the  last entry.   Please put a carriage return (hit enter) so that  a CR is  the last thing in the file.
