Best Software to Migrate AD Objects Comprehensively to Another AD / Forest

Migrate Entire User’s & Contact’s Properties

Using the AD migration software users can migrate entire AD User’s properties such as General, Address, Account, Telephones, Organization, Remote Control, Remote Desktop Services, COM+, Member of, Dial In, Environment and Session to the destination AD Domain. Moreover, users can also migrate Users password through password sync.

And also the printer’s properties like Security, About, General, Sharing, Ports, Advanced, Color, and Management.

Mapping Between Source & Destination

This software allows users to fetch the respective objects from the source AD domain, such as Users, Printers, Computers, Groups, Contacts, and Shared folders between Active Directory domains. And this tool also allows users further to define a destination location & map the destination path to save the resultant migration objects in the destination Active Directory Domain Controller.

Easy Deployment & Usage

SysTools Active Directory Migration Tool is much easier to set up and use than competing software available in the market today. Meanwhile, the other software force you to use scripts or a dizzying array of modules, whereas, SysTools AD migration software comes with a simple GUI, that users can deploy and use without even having prior technical knowledge.

Force Restart

After the successful migration of computers, we have to restart the Machines to reflect the domain change, in this case, we have to manually restart the machines. However, with the force restart feature, the administrators can enforce a restart of migrated computers remotely, by defining the time in minutes from 1 to 5 mins. With these features, you can ensure swift and efficient Machine rebooting, minimize downtime, and ensure a smooth migration of computers to the new Active Directory environment.

Detailed & Summary Report

As the Active Directory migration starts; the software shows users the complete details and count of AD objects, including Users, Computers, Printers, Shared Folders, etc., that are being migrated from a source AD to a target. In addition, it provides users with comprehensive migration insights on real-time data for each step of their migration. This is done through various reports, including Domain wise Summary report, Migrated To and Migrated From report, and Migration Scenario wise workload count report.

Comprehensive Security

Security becomes always the top concern when dealing with sensitive enterprise data. SysTools AD Migrator is the safest tool available today. As it avoids RPC and remote registry access. Moreover, it does not require any open inbound ports in the network firewall. Furthermore, it does not gather any credentials such as Email and Passwords within the software's database during or post the migration stage.

Conflict Handling

This software provides support to migrate Active Directory Objects with two options, a user can use. Those are as follows:

  • Create: This option will create new Active Directory Objects at the destination AD.
  • Merge: It will add add-on properties to destination Active Directory Objects.

Two Re-Run Migration Types

This software provides support to migrate Active Directory Objects with two options, a user can use. Those are as follows:

  • Retry Failed Migration: The utility provides support to retry the failed Active Directory Objects for migration.
  • Delta SyncUP: The utility offers support to migrate the newly added properties of Active Directory Objects for migration.

Bidirectional Password Sync

Another remarkable feature of SysTools AD Migrator is, it offers bidirectional password synchronization. This innovative feature ensures that password changes made in either the source or destination Active Directory are automatically synchronized bidirectionally. This feature eliminates the chances of password mismatch and security concerns. It streamlines seamless synchronization and keeps user credentials up-to-date across both domains without manual intervention.

(Note: To use the Bidirectional Password Sync you have to enable the Password Sync Feature in the software)

Exclude Property

With the enhanced SysTools Active Directory Migration Tool, admins now can exclude specific properties of Active Directory users before migration using a CSV file. Whether it's some specific attribute or unnecessary property, this feature offers granular control over what gets transferred to the destination AD domain.

Password Migration & Handling

The SysTools AD migration tool offers four different ways to handle password migration such as:

  • No Password Handling: This option will exclude user passwords during the migration process.
  • Password Sync: This option will Sync the newly updated password to the destination.
  • Password Hash: Explicit functionality to import and export existing account passwords.
  • Set Default Password: This option will facilitate user migration by defining a default password.

Windows OS Compatibilty

The SysTools AD migrator is compatible with several operating systems, including Windows 10 and 11, both 64-bit versions, as well as Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016, and 2019. This means that the AD migrator can be utilized in a wide range of environments, making it a versatile and flexible tool for AD migration projects.

Why Consider SysTools AD Migrator Over Others in the Market?
Why Choose Us for Active Directory Migration?
Why Other Solution Fails?
  • Lack of Compatibility: Many other solutions in the market fail to keep up with the latest Windows Server versions, causing compatibility issues and potential disruptions during migration.
  • Limited Customization: Unlike SysTools, alternative tools do not offer the same level of flexibility in mapping objects or excluding specific properties, leading to a less tailored migration process.
  • Incomplete Security Measures: Without robust SID history migration and bidirectional password sync capabilities, other AD migration tools can compromise security by leaving gaps in permissions and authentication.
  • Manual Configuration: Some tools lack automation features like auto-joining computers or remote force restarts, which requiries manual intervention and increasing the likelihood of errors or delays.
  • Inadequate Support: The absence of comprehensive support and help desk services, especially with round-the-clock availability, It leaves users stranded during critical migration stages. Eventually it can cause downtime and frustration.

  • Cost: While pricing information isn't readily available online for most of products, still SysTools offers the most budget-friendly option among the market of reputation vendors.
  • Mapping objects with CSV: SysTools allows using a CSV file to define how objects are mapped between source and destination domains.
  • SID History Migration: It migrates Security Identifiers (SIDs) which can be helpful for permission inheritance.
  • Auto-joining computers: Its automatically join migrated computers to the destination domain.
  • Exclude Specific Properties: With this feature admins now can exclude specific properties of Active Directory users before migration using a CSV file.
  • Bidirectional Password Sync: It ensures that password changes made in either the source or destination Active Directory are automatically synchronized bidirectionally.
  • Remote Force Restart: With the force restart feature, the administrators can enforce a restart of migrated computers remotely, by defining the time in minutes from 1 to 5 mins.
