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.

  • Switching from QMMAD to ODMAD or BT AD Pro in the middle of your migration is feasible, but it requires careful planning and execution to ensure a smooth transition. Here are some factors to consider:

    Group Mapping Dependencies: Since both ODMAD and BT AD Pro rely on the ADLDS database for group mapping, you'll need to ensure compatibility between the two tools. This may involve exporting the group mapping data from QMMAD and importing it into the new tool.

    Data Synchronization: You'll need to synchronize the existing migrated data between the QMMAD environment and the new tool. This may involve exporting the migrated objects from QMMAD and importing them into ODMAD or BT AD Pro.

    User Cutover: Once the data synchronization is complete, you'll need to plan a user cutover to switch over to the new tool. This involves updating user profiles and group memberships to reflect the new environment.

    Testing and Validation: Thorough testing and validation are crucial throughout the migration process. This includes verifying that all objects have been migrated correctly, that group memberships are accurate, and that users can access their resources without any issues.

    Technical Expertise: Switching tools mid-migration requires a good understanding of both QMMAD and the new tool you choose. Consider engaging experienced IT professionals or consultants to assist with the transition.

    Documentation: Maintain clear and comprehensive documentation throughout the migration process. This will aid in troubleshooting and future reference.

    In summary, switching from QMMAD to ODMAD or BT AD Pro in the middle koows of your echat migration book is possible, but it requires careful planning, data synchronization, user cutover, testing, and technical expertise. Proper documentation will also be crucial for a successful transition.
