Resolution

goal
Can DMA migrate and set a user account's Primary Group during a migration?

goal
Does DMA migrate the Primary Group setting of a user account?

fact
Domain Migration Administrator 7.x

fix

Domain Migration Administrator will not migrate the Primary Group property of a user account.  Domain Migration Administrator sets the primary group for migrated user accounts to Domain Users.  If you use the Migrate associated user groups option and the source user account is assigned to a different primary group, Domain Migration Administrator migrates the primary group and assigns the user to this group in the target domain.  However, the primary group of the migrated user is still set to Domain Users.



note
Domain Migration Administrator does not migrate the primary group in the source domain if the group is a built-in group.
