Replicate every General, Address, Account, Telephones, Organization, Remote Control, Remote Desktop Services, COM+, Member of, Dial In, Environment and Session as it is on the cloud.

Set Single Default Password for All Users

During user object migration, admins assign a temporary default password common to all user accounts. This allows for quick and error-free creation or merger of AD users in the Entra environment. The temporary passwords are not stored anywhere and expire after users make the first login in the cloud post-migration.

Transfer AD Computer Device Properties

Use this advanced tool to migrate all of the various AD computer properties like General info, Operating System Data, Member Of details, Delegation, Location, Managed By, etc. Build a one-to-one replica of same computer objects on the cloud platform safely with close to zero downtime.

Efficient Mapping Between On-Premise & Cloud

This software allows admins to automatically fetch required objects from the source AD domain and destination Entra ID, such as Users, Groups, and Computers. Users can view the tree map of both source and target objects side by side and make a detailed comparison on how to approach the AD to Entra transition.

This provides flexibility and reduces disruption depending on your deployment requirements.

Exclude Property and Invalidated Object Removal
