Domain Migration Administrator creates a CN consisting of the computer name with a dollar sign ($) a (NETIQKB23557)

fact
Domain Migration Administrator 7.x

symptom
Domain Migration Administrator creates a CN consisting of the computer name with a dollar sign ($) appended in AD.

change
A computer is migrated via a saved Domain Migration Administrator task through the CLI.

cause
This is an issue in Domain Migration Administrator.  DMACLI will fail (add a dollar sign, $, to the CN) to properly migrate any computer saved in a delegated project when the source domain of the project is Windows NT 4.

fix

The current workaround is to use data modeling to edit the CN field. Below are the steps involved in the workaround:

1. Create a project.
2. Select computer objects.
3. Run the Specify Migration Settings Task.
4. Run the Modeling: Import Data Task.
5. Run the Modeling: Edit Computer Data Task.
6. Modify the Computer Name. Set all computer names in CN (those not with dollar sign, $).
7. Turn on Delegation mode.
8. Run Migrate Computers using the modeling database.
9. Turn off Delegation mode.
10. Migrate computes by DMACLI task.
