Active Directory group migration tool

Windows Active Directory group migration

When an organization goes through a merger, acquisition, or restructuring, managing Active Directory (AD) groups is a challenging task for IT administrators. These complex scenarios call for a seamless AD group migration process to ensure resource sharing and collaboration by consolidating groups across domains or forests. A streamlined migration process is essential to avoiding disruptions that could impact users' access to resources, permissions, and workflows.

ADManager Plus is a robust AD migration tool that enables IT administrators to securely and efficiently migrate AD groups and their attributes across domains or forests. With its centralized management console, ADManager Plus eliminates the complexities associated with user, group, contact, and GPO migration, ensuring smooth transitions.

Migrating AD groups using ADManager Plus

ADManager Plus enables administrators to migrate AD groups seamlessly across domains within a trusted forest. Whether migrating groups directly or retaining their organizational hierarchy, this AD group migration tool ensures a secure, efficient transition. With robust conflict handling capabilities, ADManager Plus allows administrators to handle situations where groups with the same name exist in the destination domain. Here are some key highlights of group migration in ADManager Plus:

• Flexible group hierarchy migration: Migrate groups directly into a target OU or along with their source OU hierarchy.
• Conflict handling: Apply predefined naming formats to resolve conflicts during migration. Administrators can also choose to exclude groups from migration if naming conflicts are detected.
• Group membership and Security Identifier ( SID ) history retention: This option can be used to retain group memberships, ensuring continuity in access and permissions across the source and target domains.
• Migration using AD Migration Tool (ADMT): For inter-forest migration, use ADMT to migrate group SIDs, update user rights, fix memberships, and copy group members seamlessly.
