OK so the scenario is there is no network connectivity between source and target domains, AD/DNS Servers are virtual on microsoft platform,

What are the options to migrate all active directory objects to new domain ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Did you use the ADMT to do the migration, right?

Trust is a requirement for ADMT. Before the domain trust can be created both domains will need to be able to resolve each other via DNS. If you cant establish trust because of network issues, you can try an offline migration.
1. Create a DC from your source domain (add addition DC)
2. Move this DC to your target domain network
3. Transfer all FSMO roles and make it an independent domain/forest.  Make sure this network is isolated from Source domain network.
4. Create domain trust from this domain and migrate all users and groups

FYI..You cant migrate computer with this option. 

In order to migrate all ad objects to new domain, i suggest you could refer to ADMT step by step.

Hello,

you have to use LDIFDE but it has limitations, see details in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/237677?wa=wsignin1.0

Or you check out Dell AD migration which is able to do migrations without trusts BUT there are also limits. For more details please see and contact http://software.dell.com/products/migration-manager-for-active-directory/

Well, if the target domain is completely new the easiest way is to use "Install From Media" (aka IFM) AD feature.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply however I do not think ADMT is an option here as I said no connectivity between source and target datacenter so I can not perform step#2 as you have mentioned and ADMT can not export anything on USB drive or other drives, right ?

I will have no access to source DC, I can write a scripts and give it to them to copy data on USB..

There will be no connectivity between source and target domain, all I will have is USB Drives,

not sure I can get that but copying VHDX file will help ?

Hello,

without access to the domain you can't do it.

Hello,

copying a virtual machine from domain.com will NOT help you to built Newdomain.com

Thanks,

Copying VM as domain.com and built the same domain in new hyper-v , Isn't that possible ?

If not, then I think only option left is bare metal recovery and restore it in target domain ?

I still am not understanding one thing:

Are you migrating from domain.com to newdomain.com or are you moving domain.com to another location/site?
