Starts a MoveTree operation. This command includes a
/check operation by default (to start a MoveTree operation
with no check, use /startnocheck). MoveTree tries to
continue the operation until it completes; if there is a network
fault or if the destination domain
controller becomes unavailable, then MoveTree pauses the
operation. If an operation has been paused, then it may be
continued using the /continue command.
/startnocheck
Starts a MoveTree operation with no /check.
/continue
Continues the execution of a previously paused or failed
MoveTree operation. This allows the MoveTree operation to continue
even if a network fault or a domain controller error has
interrupted the initial operation. Specifying /sdnSrcDN is optional for this command.
/check
Performs a test run of the MoveTree operation, checking the
whole tree without moving any objects. This enables the
administrator to determine if there is sufficent disk space on the
destination server, if there are any conflicts with object names or
if there are any objects that could not be moved (such as Domain
Local or Global groups). The administrator may then take remedial
action before performing the actual move.
The /check command returns an error if any of the
following conditions are met:
The user does not have the necessary permissions to create
objects in the destination container.
The destination server does not have sufficient disk space to
continue the operation.
A relative distinguished name conflict exists on the
destination server.
There is a samAccountName conflict for any object that would be
moved.
Any objects cannot be moved because they are built-in accounts,
or they are either a Domain Local or a Global group.
Any computer objects would be moved. To move computer accounts
and join the computers to the domain, use NetDom, a Windows 2000 Support Tool.
/sSrcDSA
Specifies the fully qualified primary DNS name of the
source server in the domain from which the objects are being moved
(for example, Server1.Marketing.Microsoft.Com). Required for all
MoveTree commands.
/dDstDSA
Specifies the fully qualified primary DNS name of the
destination server in the domain to which the objects are being
moved (for example, Server2.Sales.Microsoft.Com). Required for all
MoveTree commands.
/sdnSrcDN
Specifies the distinguished name of the source sub-tree (the
object being moved) (for example,
OU=Promotions,DC=Marketing,DC=Microsoft,DC=Com). Required for the
/start, /startnocheck, and /check commands;
optional for /continue.
/ddnDstDN
Specifies the distinguished name of the destination sub-tree
(to which the object is being moved) (for example,
OU=Promotions,DC=Sales,DC=Microsoft,DC=Com). Required for all
MoveTree commands.
/u [Domain\]Username/pPassword
Runs MoveTree under the credentials of a valid Username
and Password. Optionally, a Domain can be specified
as well. If these optional arguments are not provided, MoveTree
uses the credentials of the currently logged-on user.
/verbose
Runs MoveTree in verbose mode, which displays more details
about the operation as it runs. Optional.
/? or /help
Displays this information on a command-line syntax screen.
