Quest Migrator Pro for Active Directory Training

Quest Migrator Pro for Active Directory is the canonical tool for cross-forest AD work: acquisitions, divestitures, and consolidating many domains into one. It is the AD-side workhorse of Quest Secure Migration within the Quest Security Management Platform, paired with Directory Sync Pro for ongoing object synchronization, and it does the job without requiring open inbound ports between forests. If your team is going to operate Migrator Pro after a project, or if you are standing up an internal AD migration practice, this is the training that turns the product documentation into operational fluency.

The course is available as live instructor-led training (ILT) or as self-paced student-led training (SLT) through the virtual training center.

Migrator Pro for Active Directory course details

Two-and-a-half-day hands-on course that walks Active Directory administrators through installing, configuring, and running Migrator Pro for AD against the scenarios they will actually meet in production: an acquisition that needs to fold a new forest into an existing one, a divestiture that needs to carve users and resources out, or a consolidation that collapses years of accumulated domains into a single clean target.

• Duration: 2.5 days instructor-led, or self-paced equivalent
• Audience: Active Directory administrators and consultants seeking refresher training
• You will learn to: install and configure Migrator Pro for Active Directory in your own environment, plan cross-forest user, group, and computer migrations (including SID history and staged cutovers), and operate Directory Sync Pro for the synchronization layer

• Tuition: $3,050 per student (instructor-led)

Coming from Migration Manager?

If your team is currently running Quest Migration Manager for Active Directory (MMAD), Migrator Pro for AD is the modern successor. Migration Manager itself has been retired, but the operational skills carry over directly. Trust setup, source and target planning, SID history, and staged user and computer cutovers all map onto the Migrator Pro workflow. Operators who knew MMAD well are usually comfortable with the new console quickly and can spend most of their lab time on the Directory Sync Pro and port-restricted scenarios that did not exist in the old product.
