How do I export User's AD accounts in multiple OUs

We have OUs under OUs. Say, I have an OU named Texas, under Texas OUs, I have multiples OUs as Houston, Austin, Dallas.. How do I export them all out (Production Environment) and import to another DC (Test environment). I really mean to keep the same structures of OUs and users in specific OUs. Thanks in advance.

Your best bet is to use the Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) it will allow you to migrate users by OU's.

Both Maco008 and Mahdvic suggestions are excellent. I tried P2V before, not ADMT. I am working as consultant, I like to use export and import rather than anything has to do directly on customer's server. With P2V, it may raise security concern and with ADMT I don't have experience on it, don't want to make mistake. Any suggestions on export and import? Thanks.

P2V is the best simplest way to clone a system for testing. Thanks Maco008
