Common Active Directory Consolidation Challenges

Pre-migration assessments
lessen migration issues, but
difficult to perform thoroughly
Progress and status is critical to
project management, but can be
incomplete or missing
altogether
Maintaining coexistence
throughout the migration is
complicated
Technical difficulty of project
requires expensive senior IT
resources
Server migrations often need to
accompany domain migrations,
prolonging the project
Avoiding disruption to end users
is key to success and
organizational changes can
drive new standards

What if…
• You could show up to minute migration status for management review?
• You could eliminate additional off-hours tasks for your migration team?
• Your migration was seamless to end users, and without requiring
manually touching every system in the environment?
• You could off-load much of the migration work to junior IT staff, freeing
senior staff to concentrate on managing the project through successful
completion?
• You finished your migration within budget and ahead of schedule?
