Capabilities of the MOVETREE Command - Page 3
Finally, you must check the user's group membership before moving a user account. Global groups are limited to having members from the domain the group exists in. If you try to move a user account without removing it from any global groups it's part of, not only will the move fail, but the group membership will also be voided. There is one exception to this rule: If a user's primary group is the Domain Users global group, and the user isn't a member of any other global groups, the move will be successful. Windows 2000 will simply make the user a member of the Domain Users group in the new domain.
