Hello Kathy,
Sorry for being so late.
1. Yes it should, if all preconditions are set as described with the patches
and registry changes in the 3 articles from Jorge.
2. No, it works but you can not configure the "Preferred domain contoller",
this is new functionality with ADMTv3.1 "To use a preferred domain controller,
you must configure it by using the admt config command-line option. You must
configure source and target domain controllers independently. After you configure
a preferred domain controller, ADMT determines its validity and availability
and uses it automatically every time that you run ADMT" page 211 ADMTv3.1
guide
3. The logfile should display the used DC's, not another.
Global catalog is used because of this:
The Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) changes global groups to universal
groups when you migrate them from the source domain to the target domain.
The change occurs automatically because global groups can contain only members
of their own domain. Therefore, they cannot continue to be global groups
when they are migrated to another domain until the group members are migrated.
ADMT changes the universal groups back to global groups when the last member
of the group is migrated to the target domain. Because universal groups replicate
their membership to the global catalog, it is important to verify that the
universal groups correctly changed back to global groups
Best regards
Meinolf Weber
