Our Solutions Architecture team is excited to announce the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/TheJumpCloud\/jumpcloud-ADMU\/wiki\">Active Directory Migration Utility<\/a> (ADMU), which automates the steps required to non-destructively convert a Windows domain account to a local user account and begin managing that account with JumpCloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For organizations that have been apprehensive about uprooting their existing AD infrastructure, the ADMU presents a new opportunity to complete the transition to the cloud. This new utility minimizes the time commitment, manual labor, and risk involved with implementing JumpCloud as a replacement for AD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the ADMU, small-to-medium-sized enterprises can complete the transition to JumpCloud in anywhere from a few hours to a couple days. The result is a consolidated user and system management experience for admins, with end users barely noticing the change. Read on for more details about how the ADMU works and the tasks it automates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"promotion-banner-small is-flex-direction-column has-items-aligned-flex-start has-items-aligned-center-tablet\">\n    <div class=\"promo-small-image is-hidden-mobile\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/large-202303-EB-Resource-BreakingUpWithAD-290x175-SiteDisplay-aspect-ratio-160-110.png\" alt=\"JumpCloud\">\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"promo-small-content\">\n        <p class=\"is-type-body-tiny is-type-weight-bold is-important promo-small-title\">\n            Breaking Up with Active Directory        <\/p>\n        <p class=\"is-type-body-default is-important\">\n            Don\u2019t let your directory hold you back.

In order to avoid a situation where JumpCloud would compete with AD for authoritative control over a Windows machine, this agent won\u2019t run on systems that remain bound to an AD domain. Because of this, a full transition to JumpCloud from AD requires that domain accounts be converted to local user accounts, which can then be taken over by the JumpCloud agent. The ADMU automates this entire process: You start with a domain-bound system and end with a JumpCloud-managed system, with the original user account and its attributes intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"282\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/active-directory-migration-utility-1.png\" alt=\"Diagram of how JumpCloud's Active Directory Migration Utility Works\" class=\"wp-image-44912\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/active-directory-migration-utility-1.png 720w, https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/active-directory-migration-utility-1-300x118.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a workstation has been migrated to JumpCloud, the user\u2019s login experience doesn\u2019t change, but the system now contacts your new cloud directory instead of AD as its authoritative source of truth for authentication. As an admin, you can now control the following functions remotely from JumpCloud\u2019s web console:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Add the system to a <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/course\/learning-byod\">system group<\/a> and apply GPO-like policies across that group\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Toggle on multi-factor authentication at Windows system login&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enforce new password complexity and rotation requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Control network connections with RADIUS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retrieve OS-level status and usage data using <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/platform\/directory-insights\">System Insights\u2122<\/a> (this premium feature is available to all <a href=\"https:\/\/console.jumpcloud.com\/signup\">free accounts<\/a> for testing)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-box box has-background-white-smoke\">\n<p><strong> New to JumpCloud? <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/platform\/cloud-directory\">Learn more about the benefits of migrating from Active Directory to a modern cloud directory service\u2192<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the ADMU Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ADMU is a Windows application (.exe) that launches a GUI on an individual machine that needs to be migrated. You can also use the PowerShell version in <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/TheJumpCloud\/jumpcloud-ADMU\/wiki\/advanced-deployment-scenarios\">mass migration scenarios<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The utility works by mirroring the existing domain account to a new local system user account, and gives you the option to leave both accounts intact. This is a great way to build confidence as you test migration in a <em>one, some, many<\/em> workflow, because you can compare the new account to the original before unbinding the original from the AD domain. You can set key preferences \u2014 like whether to automatically leave the domain \u2014 using the GUI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a full walkthrough of the migration process using the ADMU, check out our demo video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"image is-16by9\">\n    <iframe class=\"has-ratio\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5YyeSLN_Nxk\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re curious about what\u2019s going on under the hood, the ADMU leverages the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK), which was designed to help admins install and configure the Windows operating system on new machines at scale. This incorporation of Microsoft\u2019s<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> own existing framework for unbinding accounts from AD helps to ensure compatibility across different domain environments and reinforce security throughout the migration process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evaluating JumpCloud Before Migration&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For many organizations, the possibility of replacing AD with an alternative directory service represents uncharted territory. It\u2019s normal to have questions about how JumpCloud\u2019s consolidated access control and system management platform works and whether it could really replace AD for your environment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why we\u2019re committed to making the testing and evaluation process as straightforward and transparent as possible.
