Also, it is good to note that even if you can't avoid ADMT (in the case
you must migrate your users to another _existing_ domain) you'd still
need to do as Andrew says and add a Windows DC to the _source_ domain
first, because the target domain needs to be trusted by the source for
ADMT to work at all.

While Samba can be trusted by others, it currently cannot itself trust
other domains, so ADMT simply cannot work without a Windows DC in the
source.
