1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:01,470
Now, as I said,

2
00:00:01,470 --> 00:00:04,670
the main exam alert here is knowing a thing or two about

3
00:00:04,670 --> 00:00:07,350
Active Directory Migration Tool or ADMT.

4
00:00:07,350 --> 00:00:11,950
This is a free toolset that helps you move Active Directory objects,

5
00:00:11,950 --> 00:00:15,610
both between forests, as well as within a single forest.

6
00:00:15,610 --> 00:00:16,540
Alright?

7
00:00:16,540 --> 00:00:20,680
It is a database backed desktop application,

8
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,080
technically it's a customized Microsoft Management Console,

9
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:28,840
so you're going to be installing this tool on your administrative workstation,

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,890
and it has a number of components that allow you to

11
00:00:31,890 --> 00:00:34,670
migrate several account types, including users,

12
00:00:34,670 --> 00:00:38,010
groups, service accounts, group policies,

13
00:00:38,010 --> 00:00:40,000
computer accounts, etc.

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,660
As I mentioned, ADMT is database backed so it does require SQL Server.

15
00:00:45,660 --> 00:00:47,650
Now I just want to be the first to tell you,

16
00:00:47,650 --> 00:00:50,040
I'm probably not the first to tell you,

17
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,280
that ADMT hasn't received any updates in a little while,

18
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,000
in a few years anyway.

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,690
So you'll find that you typically need to stand up an

20
00:00:58,690 --> 00:01:03,240
old version of SQL Server Express, and you'll find that,

21
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:03,520
I mean,

22
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,940
I think it's the fact that there hasn't been a lot of fundamental

23
00:01:06,940 --> 00:01:10,540
change in Active Directory in the last several years,

24
00:01:10,540 --> 00:01:15,080
so maybe Microsoft hasn't felt that need to update

25
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,660
to blow the dust off the tool.

26
00:01:16,660 --> 00:01:18,110
It works fine as it is.

27
00:01:18,110 --> 00:01:20,970
As you can see, when you're in the MMC console,

28
00:01:20,970 --> 00:01:24,510
you right‑click Active Directory Migration Tool root node,

29
00:01:24,510 --> 00:01:26,730
and you can invoke any of these wizards.

30
00:01:26,730 --> 00:01:37,000
And notice that there is now a Managed Service Account Migration Wizard, that was the latest addition to this toolset where you can migrate GMSAs.
