Active Directory Migration and Consolidation
NetIQ Domain Migration Administrator
Active Directory consolidation, migration, and re-architecture projects can be time consuming and resource intensive - and can potentially introduce security vulnerabilities. If not planned for and executed properly, migrating users, groups, computers, contacts and other objects can interrupt user access to critical resources and business services resulting in downtime and lost productivity.
NetIQ® Domain Migration Administrator™ offers a project-based approach, intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) and extensive automation of common, repetitive migration tasks. This helps you more easily migrate, consolidate, and re-architect your Active Directory environment while maintaining user and business productivity and enforcing security policies.
- Domain Migration Administrator Console
Specifically, NetIQ Domain Migration Administrator helps you:
- Simplify assessment and preparation – automate discovery and assessment of users, groups and computer resources to simplify migration preparation.
- Model and simulate the migration – test the migration before committing changes to help find and resolve potential issues (e.g. name conflicts.)
- Report on project progress – track and audit the state of your migration from start to finish leveraging open and scriptable interfaces.
- Maintain business productivity – preserve coexistence between migrated and un-migrated users to help ensure uninterrupted user access to resources.

Migration Planning
Proper planning is a critical first step in any migration; it lays the foundation for the success of your project. However, understanding your existing environment, including its complexities and interdependencies, can be a time-consuming and challenging task.
NetIQ Domain Migration Administrator helps organizations automate discovery of users, groups, computers, and contacts, reducing time spent understanding your existing environment and helping expedite the planning and preparation for your migration project.
Improve Migration Efficiency
Migration projects often involve repetitive and labor-intensive manual work.
NetIQ Domain Migration Administrator employs a project based approach that helps improve the efficiency of your migration project by automating common repetitive migration tasks. It also tracks the project step-by-step, while identifying and excluding disabled and expired accounts.
Secure Identifier (SID) History Cleanup
SID history is necessary to guarantee users' security permissions are uninterrupted during and after a migration. Only after all security permissions have been translated is it safe to remove the SID history.
NetIQ Domain Migration Administrator provides the ability to manage the SID translation. Security translation reports are available to help ensure translations are complete before removing SID history. NetIQ Domain Migration Administrator also helps you to safely remove the object's SID history once the migration project is complete.
Migration Project Reporting
Before, during, and after your migration project, you need visibility into all aspects of the project's readiness, progress, and status. It is therefore necessary to have access to comprehensive reports that give you easy access to the project information you need.
NetIQ Domain Migration Administrator provides a catalog of out-of-the-box reports for use before, during, and after your migration project. The information contained in these reports helps you make decisions about your migration project.
