Seamless Entra ID migrations
Simplify your Microsoft Entra ID (Azure) migrations with trusted partners
Migrating your IT environment to Entra ID (Azure AD) is a critical step for many organisations today.
Whether you’re transitioning Windows 10 and 11 workstations to Cloud Native, Entra Joined, synchronising directories between platforms, or planning tenant-to-tenant migrations, these shifts offer opportunities to modernise and secure your infrastructure.
However, they can also pose significant challenges, from maintaining seamless access to ensuring compliance and minimising downtime.
Let’s dive into why these migrations are pivotal for modern businesses and how PowerSyncPro can make the process simpler and more efficient, in collaboration with our trusted partners.
Why do businesses choose to migrate their workstations to Entra ID (Azure AD)?
Companies often face a variety of organisational changes and challenges that make migrating to Entra ID a strategic necessity. Common scenarios include:
Mergers and acquisitions
Combining two or more IT environments while maintaining seamless access and minimising downtime for users after a company merger or acquisition.
Scalability and modernisation
Growing organisations need flexible, cloud-native solutions to replace outdated infrastructure, allowing them to scale effortlessly.
End-of-life
systems
Retiring legacy systems and ensuring continued security and compliance.
Security and identity management
Enhancing security frameworks with modern identity solutions like Entra ID
Partnering for success
At PowerSyncPro, we specialise in workstation migrations (like tenant-to-tenant or Hybrid to Entra Joined) and Active Directory migrations, as well as directory synchronisation. While we don’t handle Azure / Entra migrations directly, we have a network of reliable and trusted partners who do.
If you need assistance with these migrations, we’d be happy to connect you with a partner who can meet your specific needs.
How PowerSyncPro can help
PowerSyncPro focuses on migration of Windows Workstations to Azure AD / Entra ID. We can make devices Cloud Native directly from an Entra Registered/Hybrid Join state or migrate Windows Workstations between tenants. These workstations can be physical or virtual or a persistent VDI.
Note: PowerSyncPro does not migrate Virtual Machines between Azure subscriptions, nor Azure App Registration between tenants.
If you are migrating servers, key considerations include:
- Just switching the subscription
- Moving the server between geographies, or
- Need to change the server’s Active Directory join/Entra join state.
PowerSyncPro can assist with join state changes but does not handle subscription or geographic migrations.
These need to be re-created in the target tenant there are currently no migration tools that exist for this. Customers will need to recreate the Enterprise Apps and App Registrations, recreate the secrets and upload any certificates that are being used to secure them. Often you will need to contact the vendor to ensure the translation of the users from the source to the target tenant is maintained.
You should take this opportunity to review and secure your App Registrations. Take this time to ensure they have owners and assignments and that the API permissions granted are not overly privileged for the Apps intended use.
Entra AD (Azure) is large and complicated, and you will need to also consider:
- Access control (IAM): Roles, Role assignments
- Storage Accounts
- SQL Databases
- Application Gateways
- Networking: Firewalls, Load Balancers, Virtual Network Gateways, VPNs
- Site Recovery and Backup Services
- Web Apps
- Bastion
- Conditional Access

Migrating Mailboxes, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive (plus Power Platform) is a well-worn path these days with multiple vendors offering tooling for this. However, a well-planned migration is always underpinned by having robust identity design to begin with. PowerSyncPro ensures your identity design is solid, setting the foundation for a smooth transition.
