How to Set the Required Permissions for Active Directory Migration

Accounts Required for Migration Manager Operation

Migration Manager account

Description Where Specified Rights and Permissions

The account under which the administrator is logged on when Migration Manager is started.

This account is used to connect to ADAM/AD LDS and open the migration project. (The appropriate users should be delegated rights within the project to open and work with the project).

 At administrator's logon

Membership in the local Administrators group on the console machine.

If there are cluster servers in the source or target Exchange organizations, the Migration Manager account must:

  • Be a member of the local Administrators group on each cluster node.
  • Have Full Control rights over the cluster.

ADAM/AD LDS administrative account

Description Where Specified Rights and Permissions

Is used to connect to ADAM/AD LDS and create a new migration project.

 During ADAM/AD LDS instance installation. Later, when you first start Migration Manager, specify this account in the Open Project Wizard.

After ADAM/AD LDS instance installation, this account is granted Full Control rights over the whole ADAM/AD LDS instance.

The user who creates the project is automatically granted Full Control rights in the project and can later delegate rights within the project to other users.

Note: Delegated users will have rights only within the ADAM/AD LDS project partition, but no rights to manage the ADAM/AD LDS instance.

SQL configuration database account

Description Where Specified Rights and Permissions

  • Create the SQL configuration database when a migration project is created
  • Access the SQL configuration database

NOTE: Database creator server role is required only if project database has not been created and you are planning to create it. In case the project database has been created, server role dbcreator is no longer required. Database role db_owner is enough to work with existing project database. You can grant this permission directly to the SQL configuration database account, or through the security group that can also be used for Agent Host accounts.
