Use DMA to add SID History to an existing user account based on a matching samAccountName. If the source SamAccountName matches the existing target account, perform one of the following procedures:

To add SID History to an existing user account from a project:

1. Launch the Specify Migration Options wizard.

2. On the Naming Conflicts screen, select Replace and update conflicting accounts.

3. Ensure the Remove existing user rights check box is clear.

4. Complete the Wizard.

5. Launch the Migrate User Accounts wizard and migrate the user accounts.

To add SID History when migrating user accounts using the Migrate User Accounts global wizard:

1. Launch the Migrate User Accounts wizard and migrate the user accounts.

2. On the Naming Conflicts screen, select Replace and update conflicting accounts.

3. Ensure the Remove existing user rights check box is clear.

4. Complete the wizard.

fix

If the source SamAccountName does not match the existing target accounts, you can use database modeling to map DMA to the correct target account.  Change the SamAccountName to match that of the target domain.  DMA then recognizes the conflict and merges the accounts.

Note: By default, if the SamAccountName does not match, DMA does not recognize any conflicts and does not merge the accounts.
