Migrate devices without reimaging or disruption
On Demand Migration supports a wide range of device migration scenarios as part of Active Directory modernization, domain consolidation, tenant migration, and cloud transformation initiatives. Migrate domain-joined devices between Active Directory environments, convert hybrid devices to Entra ID, transition Entra-joined devices between tenants, and move Intune enrollment to a new tenant. Whether your destination is Active Directory, Entra ID, or a hybrid environment, ODM provides the flexibility to support your migration strategy.
Device migration doesn't have to mean rebuilding desktops or disrupting productivity. On Demand Migration preserves user profiles, applications, and settings so users return to a familiar experience after migration. Most users experience only a brief interruption, such as a restart and sign-in process, before resuming work. By eliminating the need for reimaging, organizations can reduce downtime and simplify large-scale migration projects.
On Demand Migration enables users to schedule their own migration at their convenience, not at a time that would impact their productivity. IT administrators define approved migration windows while users choose the time that works best for them. This reduces scheduling overhead and helps minimize disruption to day-to-day operations.
On Demand Migration provides a secure, cloud-based platform for managing device, identity, and directory migrations through a consistent and repeatable process. Keep migrated and unmigrated users and devices synchronized throughout the project, support remote users and distributed environments, and maintain visibility into migration activities from a centralized management dashboard. For organizations with unique requirements, this device migration tool can also be adapted to support even the most complex migration scenarios.
