How to Migrate Users Across forest (Cross Forest) using ADMT 3.2 with sid and Passwords


Once Trust is in place
Open Administrators Group in the Source Forest , Add Administrator of the Target Forest to acquire proper Permissions
Vice Versa
Open Administrators Group in the Target Forest , Add Administrator of the Source Forest to acquire proper Permissions
otherwise you will end up with Access denied errors while Moving Users back and forth

Once permission part is done
We have to configure a Password Export Server in the source domain to allow exporting the passwords to the Target domain

If your Source Domain DC is running a 64 bit Version
Password Export Server version 3.1 (x64)
If your Source Domain DC is running a 32 bit Version
Password Export Server version 3.1 (x86)

Before you choose next , We need to create a password Encryption file from the Target Domain
