    Hi Fabrizio,

    Thanks for you reply. DC's are Windows 2008R2. Workstations are Windows 7 and Windows 10.

    What do you mean by 2 chance?

    I am planing to use ADMT in each forest to transfer to new single forest in 7 stages.

     

    Thanks

      Ok you can use ADMT 3.2 for WKS 7 and DCs 2008R2

      If you have WKS 8,8.1 or 10 is not possible use ADMT but ADMS Services

      Best Regards,

      Fabrizio

        When I read about ADMS service, it is for Migrating to Azure AD DS. Can I use it migrate to for in-house AD DS?

        thanks
