Integration with Migration Manager for AD

Before you start hybrid account migration make sure the Quest Migration Manager for Active Directory is already deployed as described in Deploying Migration Manager for Active Directory.

Deploying Migration Manager for Active Directory

Prerequisites
  • On-premises administrative account used for integration should have all required permissions specified in System Requirements and Access Rights document for administrative account and should have write permission to the project database.

IMPORTANT: Extended Active Directory schema with Exchange attributes in the target is required in case of target on-premises environment without Exchange Server.

  • Quest Migration Manager version 8.14 with Product Update 20190218 or above.
  • Windows PowerShell 2.0
  • .Net Framework 2.0
Installation Requirements
  1. When prompted, specify your name and company. Click Licenses to verify your license information in the dialog displayed: browse for a valid license file, and then click Close.
  2. Next, on the Select Features step, select the Migration Manager for Active Directory only excluding all other components and sub-components.
  3. On the next step, select Express option of the product installation scenario. Express means that setup will do the following:
    • Installs all the components that are permitted by the license file.

    • Configures default migration project.

    2. Click Get Service button to download Quest Hybrid Migration Service and install it on the same machine where Quest Migration Manager is deployed.
    3. Click Get secret button to download the secret for integrating On Demand Migration with Quest Migration Manager. The downloaded onpremservicekey.txt file should be moved to %CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\Aelita Shared\Migration Tools\Relay folder.
      If you suspect the secret is compromised, re-issue it through Configure Hybrid dialog. The previously issued secret will be immediately revoked and the hybrid connection will be suspended until you replace the file in %CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\Aelita Shared\Migration Tools\Relay folder.

    NOTE: The same secret can be used for all migration projects created for one organization, provided that the Quest Hybrid Migration Service is installed on only one machine.
