Switch from QMMAD to ODMAD or BT AD Pro?

Hello Team,

We require your assistance and suggestions for the following migration scenario.

In Phase I of our plan, we successfully migrated a few AD resources to the Target Forest Domain using the Quest Migration Manager for AD tool.

For Phase II of the migration plan, which covers the rest of the AD resources, we are considering switching to either On Demand Migration for AD (ODMAD) or BT AD Pro. Please note that there are dependencies on the Groups Mapping due to ADLDS Database for both Phase I and II migrations.

We would appreciate your suggestions on whether it's feasible to switch from QMMAD to ODMAD or BT AD Pro in the middle of the migrations.

Thank you.

    Yes, it is feasible to switch from QMMAD to ODMAD or BT AD Pro in the middle of your migration. However, there are a few things you need to keep in mind:

    • Group Mapping: You mentioned that there are dependencies on Group Mapping due to ADLDS Database for both Phase I and II migrations. You will need to make sure that the Group Mapping is compatible between the two tools you are switching to.
    • Data Integrity: It is important to verify that the data migrated in Phase I is still consistent after switching to a new tool. You can do this by comparing the data in the Source and Target Forest Domains.
    • Downtime: There will be some downtime associated with switching from one tool to another. You will need to plan for this downtime and communicate it to your users.

    Here are some specific steps you can take to switch from QMMAD to ODMAD or BT AD Pro in the middle of your migration:

    1. Export the data from QMMAD. This will include the user accounts, groups, and other objects that you have migrated so far.
    2. Import the data into ODMAD or BT AD Pro.
    3. Verify that the data is consistent. You can do this by comparing the data in the Source and Target Forest Domains.
    4. Update the Group Mapping. Make sure that the Group Mapping is compatible between the two tools you are switching to.
    5. Cut over to ODMAD or BT AD Pro. This will involve changing the DNS records for your domain to point to the new Active Directory servers.

    If you are not comfortable switching from one tool to another in the middle of your migration, you may want to consider using a migration service provider. A migration service provider can help you plan and execute your migration, and they can also help you troubleshoot any problems that you encounter.
