As far as my experience is concern I never had any issues with ADMT Tool, Never ever :)
You just need to make sure that you check the AD health in both the forest.

Good morning folks,
I'm about to start a Active Directory consolidation, taking seven Windows Server 2003 Active Directories to a single Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory and will be using ADMT v3.0.
I've tested and lab'd the migration roll-forward/back process and all looks straight forward so I think things should work reasonably OK however, I'm looking for advice/comments/experience from anyone who has 'real world' experience of using ADMT v3.0 for
Active Directory consolidations/migrations.
Any comments, observations, gotcha's would be very welcome as although I think I've got every angle covered it's always good to have comments/gotcha's from people who have done this already.
Thanks in advance.
