<a name="ms_ad_migrate_users"></a>

You can use the Active Directory Migration Toolkit  (ADMT) along with the Password Export Service (PES) to migrate users from your self-managed Active Directory to your Amazon Managed Microsoft AD directory. This enables you to migrate Active Directory objects and encrypted passwords for your users more easily.

For detailed instructions, see [How to migrate your on-premises domain to Amazon Managed Microsoft AD using ADMT](http://www.amazonaws.cn/blogs/security/how-to-migrate-your-on-premises-domain-to-aws-managed-microsoft-ad-using-admt/) on the *Amazon Security Blog*.
