Introduction to Migration Agent

Migration Agent is designed to simplify large-scale workstation migrations by automating user profile transfers, AD domain join and Entra Join. It reduces downtime, avoids manual reconfiguration, and ensures a smooth, secure transition, even at scale.

Workstation migration capabilities

Automated directory handling

Seamlessly transition between Active Directory environments or migrate to Azure AD with minimal manual steps. The system takes care of the technical tasks, ensuring a consistent and efficient migration.

Profile retention

User profiles, applications, preferences, and files are all maintained, allowing users to resume work quickly without configuration headaches.

Tenant-to-tenant migrations

Perfect for organizations undergoing mergers or acquisitions. Migration Agent maintains operational continuity during tenant-to-tenant transitions.

Profile resets for new logins

Automatically rebuild user profiles for new directory credentials. Reset Outlook, Teams, Office, and Edge profiles while keeping essential user data intact. Ideal for moves between Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.

OneDrive and Edge continuity

Ensure smooth transitions of OneDrive and Edge profiles so users retain their settings, bookmarks, and files without interruption.

Key features that simplify migrations

Concurrent high-speed imports

Process large directories and objects with fast throughput and quick delta synchronization intervals suitable for enterprise workloads.

Complex expressions and logic

Create advanced logic statements and mapping rules to define how directory data is synchronized. Use flexible “if-then-else” and “and/or” expressions to meet your specific migration requirements.

Automated scheduling

Schedule synchronizations with full control. Automate execution, sequence jobs, resume paused runs, and preview changes before launch for accuracy and dependability.

What-If reporting

Simulate changes before committing them. The What-If report visualizes attribute updates and directory changes, helping identify errors and maintain policy compliance across large-scale migrations.

Built for every migration scenario

Windows 10 migrations made simple

  • Transfer Windows 10 workstations quickly and efficiently with preserved profiles, applications, and settings.
  • Manage multiple profiles per device.
  • Notify users, allow immediate runs, and complete migrations in around 30–45 minutes.
  • Deploy via Intune, GPO, or other distribution tools.

On-premises directory migrations

  • Migrate between on-premises Active Directories.
  • Transition from local environments to Azure AD.
  • Revert from cloud-based Azure AD back to on-prem setups as needed.

Same-tenant and cross-tenant flexibility

  • Move from hybrid to full Azure AD or the reverse with ease.
  • Support transitions between different Azure AD tenants without reconfiguring users or causing downtime.

Migration Agent vs Microsoft Autopilot

Microsoft Autopilot can reset and migrate devices but often at the cost of downtime and data loss. Migration Agent offers a faster, smarter, user-focused alternative.
  • Preserve user configurations: Keep apps, shortcuts, and settings intact for a seamless user experience.
  • Avoid redundant reinstalls: Save time by skipping unnecessary application downloads.
  • Rapid migration times: Complete workstation moves in 30–45 minutes on average.
  • Multi-profile support: Handle devices with multiple users efficiently.
