symptom
Cannot migrate group with parenthesis () in the name.
symptom
Error: 'Failed to move replaced account.'
cause
Domain Migration Administrator (DMA) treats parenthesis as special characters. When migrating Global Groups with () parenthesis (e.g. Group(Department)),  the DMA tool renames the samAccountName replacing () with zero (e.g. Group0Department0). If there is an existing (conflicting) group on the target, it then creates a new Global Group having appended 1 (e.g. Group 0finance0-1).
