TEC Talk: Preparing for a Transition from Active Directory to Entra ID

When considering a transition from Active Directory to Azure AD, it is important to understand the technical complexities that can impact migration readiness and present challenges throughout the project. In this session, we discuss transition approaches for two scenarios: Converting a hybrid environment to Azure AD and migrating to a new Azure AD environment as part of a merger, acquisition, or divestiture. We’ll discuss security considerations, review methods to reduce user impact when switching to cloud-only accounts, and discuss options for servers and virtual machines that cannot be directly migrated.
