Yes, I had gone through the topic. Thanks for the pointer. It says really there is no way to move subtrees to different parent. Instead I need to create same entry with same attributes under the parent suffix to which I need to actually move it and finally delete the old ones? Is my understanding right? If so it is just like creating a new entry under a parent. It doesn't means move an existing entry to another suffix. If I am wrong throw some light on this.
