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
