I am not able to migrate the SID to the target domain using ADMT, but the user accounts get successfully migrated. In the target domain the migrated user's SID is different compared to the user's SID into the source domain.

Source Domain : test.com
Target Domain : abc.com

Why?  Are you getting any error message?  If so, please post the error message here.

It will be.  ObjectSID will be unique.  Old ObjectSID from source domain will be copied over to SID History attribute in the target (migrated) account.

Please note that when im doing the migration using ADMT which doesn't show any SID tab or tick to select the SID migration. i can only the transfer permission and user groups.

Which CSV file are you talking about Include file?  If so, you will see sample files in the ADMT user guide.

I have an example here also - http://portal.sivarajan.com/2011/05/user-account-migration-and-merging-part.html

In addition, see http://blog.thesysadmins.co.uk/admt-series-3-sid-history.html

I haven't tested the script, you can also perform metadata cleanup using below article.
