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.
Companies often face a variety of organisational changes and challenges that make migrating to Entra ID a strategic necessity. Common scenarios include:
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.
PowerSyncPro Directory Synchronisation can synchronise objects between Entra IDs, from Active Directory to Entra or even users and Groups from Google to Entra ID or AD helping to facilitate your migration to Cloud, or merging/acquiring other Microsoft 365 tenants.
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:
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:
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.
