Admin Tools Cloning depends on complex logic and is not meant to be a "One Button-Push" silver bullet migration solution. Please refer to this resource to ensure the best possible migration of your content. 

...

It should be noted that you will need an Admin Tools Pro or an Admin Tools for Portal license for ArcGIS licensed connector (ArcGIS Enterprise or ArcGIS Online) to your respective platforms for both the origin of the content, as well as the destination where the content is migrating to. Having only one license for the destination OR the origin, or the Basic free license of Admin Tools for ArcGIS Online will not be sufficient to clone content from one platform to another. Likewise, you will need to be logged in as a native Admin (not a custom role) of the ArcGIS Online Organization or Portal to access the tools and perform the clone.

...

Please make sure you have read and understand the Considerations Regarding Cloning knowledge base article before attempting to perform your clone, as it is necessary to ensure the expectations of how cloning works and is handled. It is our intent to make absolutely clear, that the cloning workflow is not intended to be a "perfect" one-click solution to your content migration needs, and that there will be times that some items will simply not migrate over. We try to enhance the cloning workflow capability for each update to Admin Tools to handle more scenarios and specific items, but it there will be situations where you will need to rebuild items and applications where necessary.

...

You will need to be logged in to the origin of your content when opening the Admin Tools application. Then, after selecting the Cloning Tool, you will be prompted to access and log in to the destination Organization or Portal that the content will be cloned to.

...

  • Network Security, such as popup blockers.
  • Browser Compatibility: Sometimes, your browser may update and impact the way cloning is handled across network traffic. It is suggested that the items in this operation be deleted from the destination, and to attempt to clone again in a different browser.
  • Your version of Admin Tools for ArcGIS (Portal/Enterprise) may  may be out of date. Because of the nature of distributing individually licensed builds, your build application will eventually need to be updated to the latest version. You can always check the bottom right corner of your current Admin Tools page to check your version, and visit http://www.geo-jobe.com/admin-tools/ to verify the current distributed version number.

Admin Tools is a valuable and powerful suite of tools used to streamline and make an ArcGIS Administrator's job easier and more time-efficient. As with any tool, care and understanding (of how your content generally works in your ArcGIS Online Organization or Portal) is important. There is no "undo" function in Admin Tools. Destructive tasks, such deletion of Origin content after migration should not be performed until 100% confidence of migrated items is established.
