Section 4. Migrator Pro for Active Directory Prerequisites

4.1 Migrator Pro for Active Directory Basic Installation Requirements

The Migrator Pro for Active Directory suite consists of Directory Sync Pro and Migrator Pro for Active Directory software packages. Both packages will require access to Microsoft SQL Server.

Single Server Installation Requirements

Supported Operating Systems

  • Windows Server 2016

  • Windows Server 2019

  • Windows Server 2022

  • Windows Server 2025

SQL Server Requirements

  • SQL Server 2012 SP2 Express 64-bit, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, or 2022

  • SQL Server 2012 SP2 Express 64-bit Express is supported up to 5000 objects

  • SQL Management Studio must be installed

  • SQL Server Native Client 11 (Typically installed with the Directory Sync Pro and Migrator Pro for Active Directory Installation Wizard if necessary)

  • SQL must be configured to permit mixed authentication, and one local SQL authentication account must be created for Migrator Pro for Active Directory and Directory Sync Pro for Active Directory to share.

Minimum Hardware Requirements

  • 2 CPU/vCPU

  • 6GB RAM

  • 10 GB disk space, inclusive of the SQL install requirements

Additional Components

  • If your server is not internet connected, you will be required to install the following components prior to installing Migrator Pro for Active Directory:

If you are planning to have a long-term co-existence (1 year+), we recommend using the following formula to determine if you should use a full edition of SQL Server with our products. This formula assumes High / Verbose logging turned on for all profiles = worst case scenario.

Formula: (Expected months of co-existence x Users) x Profiles = N

If calculated N >= 12000 then we recommend full edition of SQL Server.

  • Low example: 3 months x 300 users x 1 profile = 900

  • Medium example: 6 months x 1000 users x 2 profiles = 12000

  • High example: 12 months x 3000 users x 5 profiles = 180,000

  • Extreme example: 14 months x 6000 users x 7 profiles = 588,000

Multi-Server Installation Requirements

Migrator Pro for Active Directory is scalable and supports segregating components and can be installed in a multi-server configuration to support larger or complex environments.

If required in larger installations, remote SQL Servers may be used for the primary database and the logging database. Additionally, the primary database and the logging database can be segregated onto separate SQL Server instances.

Each of the following roles/functions may be separated onto different servers as required in advanced configurations:

  • Directory Sync Pro for Active Directory/Migrator Pro for Active Directory Administrative Web Interface

  • Migrator Pro for Active Directory Web Service

  • Directory Sync Pro for Active Directory Databases

    When installed independently, the components require the following resources:

Supported Operating Systems

  • Windows Server 2016

  • Windows Server 2019

  • Windows Server 2022

  • Windows Server 2025

Migrator Pro for Active Directory Split Role Minimum Hardware Requirements

  • 1 CPU/vCPU

  • 2GB RAM

  • 1 GB disk space

Directory Sync Pro for Active Directory Hardware Requirements

  • 2 CPU/vCPU

  • 4GB RAM

  • 5 GB disk space

SQL Server

  • SQL Server 2012 SP2 Express 64-bit, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2022

  • SQL must be configured to permit mixed authentication, and one local SQL authentication account must be created for Migrator Pro for Active Directory and Directory Sync Pro for Active Directory to share.

  • SQL Management Studio must be installed

  • Express editions of SQL Server are supported as long as the express installation includes SQL Management Studio

Additional Components

  • If your server is not internet connected, you will be required to install the following components prior to installing Migrator Pro for Active Directory:

Report Server Requirements

SQL Server Requirements

  • SQL Server 2012 SP2, 2014, 2017, 2019, or 2022

  • Configured for Native Mode

  • Review the Installing and Configuring SQL Reporting Services topic in the Migrator Pro for Active Directory documentation for more information.
