The Migrator Pro for Active Directory Agent is a key component of Active Directory migration. The agent contacts the Migrator Pro for Active Directory server at regular intervals, called polling, looking for jobs and tasks to perform.
Refer to the Requirements for to verify all workstations and servers meet the requirements for agent installation.
The agent can be installed using a GPO (Group Policy Object) or manually.
To install the agent with a GPO:
The computer must be rebooted for the applied group policy to complete the agent installation. |
To verify the GPO:
The Computer Settings section will display the applied group policy.
A newly applied group policy will not immediately be displayed. The Computer Settings section displays the applied group policy, but the agent installation is not completed until the computer is rebooted. |
To manually install the agent:
On the Welcome screen, click Next.
On the Destination Folder screen, click Next.
On the Enter Server URL screen, enter the FQDN of the server running the Migrator Pro for Active Directory service and click Next.
Leave this screen blank if an SRV record has been created. See Creating SRV Records below for more information. If there is an SRV record found in the Domain, any entry manually entered during the agent install for the Server URI will be ignored. |
On the Ready to Install the Program screen, click Install.
When the install completes, click Finish.
Refer to the Troubleshooting topic to resolve common agent install issues.
The Migrator Pro for Active Directory Agent uses DNS to "autodiscover" the Migrator Pro for Active Directory server. An SRV (service location) record must be created in DNS to point the clients to the correct server or servers.
To create an SRV record using DNS Manager:
For HTTP:
Protocol: _http
Priority: 0
Weight: 0
Port Number: 80
Host offering the service: the FQDN of server running the Migrator Pro for Active Directory service.
For HTTPS:
Protocol: _https
Priority: 0
Weight: 0
Port Number: 443
Host offering the service: the FQDN of server running the Migrator Pro for Active Directory service.
You can make SRV records using HTTP, HTTPS, or both protocols. Using HTTPS is suggested for increased security. If both protocols are used, the agent will always attempt to use HTTPS first. |
Every client running the agent software must be able to resolve the DNS records.
