Hi Darrengp,<br />
<br />
I think the easiest option is to migrate the groups using ADMT. In the new environment, you can use powershell also to mail enable all the groups &quot;enable-distributiongroup&quot;<wbr /><br />
The contacts should migrate without a problem using ADMT.<br />

Yep you are right....it doesn't do that :( , sorry for that &quot;tip&quot;.<br />
A former customer used MIIS for the coexistence between multiple forests and syncing the contacts between the organizations.<br />
I don't know if it will work in your situation to do a single, one-time sync.... <br />
Maybe LDIFDE.exe also may be sufficient for you. I don't have much experience with this tool, check it out, maybe the windows tool is sufficient for contacts...<br />
