I am trying to move a user opbject from one domain to another domain. The
domains reside in the same forest. I am trying to use the movetree command.

movetree /start /check /s engwdc01.eng.network.local /D
opswdc01.ops.network.local /sdn
ou=moveme,ou=users,ou=r&d,dc=eng,dc=network,dc=local /ddn
ou=moveme,ou=users,ou=exec,dc=ops,dc=network,dc=local /u eng\admin /p (admin
password) /Verbose

I get an error that says â??dâ?? not recognized and I cannot figure out what is
causing the error.

I was wondering if anyone could help me.

Thanks.

Microsoft discourages the use of Move Tree to move user objects. For the
movement of user objects it recommends using ADMT.
