[Freeipa-users] can migrate-ds be safely re-run if it failed...

[Janelle]

The groups don't go on the 2nd pass because they already went on the 
first meant. I meant to reply to this the other day as I have had a lot 
of experience with re-running migration. Group membership for an already 
existing group, does NOT come over on the 2nd pass. I have found it is 
better to start fresh if you want a clean migration. Or, better yet, 
gather the group memberships via LDAP and migrate them by hand with a 
friendly script. I through one together to do that pretty easily.
