USMT: /MD:OLDDomain:NEWDomain Question
What does this parameter really do under the hood? Thanks - BH

Read here. For an indepth analysis I suggest downloading the Sysinternal suite and use the process monitor to analyse it's working processes. Below is an overview. (move domain) Specifies a new domain for the user(s). You should use this option to change the domain for users on a computer or to migrate a local user to a domain account. OldDomain may contain the asterisk (*) wildcard character. You can specify this option more than once. You may want to specify multiple /md options if you are consolidating users across multiple domains to a single domain. For example, you could specify /md:fareast:farwest and /md:farnorth:farwest. If there are conflicts between two /md commands, the first rule that you specify is applied. For example, if you specify /md:fareast:farwest and /md:fareast:farnorth, then FarEast users would be mapped to the FarWest domain. Note If you specify an OldDomain that did not exist on the source computer, LoadState will appear to complete successfully (without an error or warning). However, in this case, user(s) will not be moved to NewDomain but will remain in their original domain. For example, if you miss-spell "domain1" and you specify "/md:domai1:domain2", the user(s) will remain in domain1 on the destination computer. For example: loadstate /i:migapp.xml /i:miguser.xml \\fileserver\migration\mystore /progress:prog.log /l:load.log /md:fareast:farwest

Thanks Andrew, I was hoping that someone may have already gathered the process monitor type of information. BH
