Thanks, good info there. I've got a call open with Dell so I'll have them show me what they have to offer and we'll go from there. One thing that interests me about the Dell tool is it requires no trusts to do the migration, which is the current configuration in the environment. Setting up an interforest trust isn't a big deal, but still. It looks like the Dell tool takes care of quite a few things the MS tools don't, so if they can make us a reasonable offer and a POC works out I'm willing to consider it. Ryan

It was recommended by a number of people. Here's a link to a comparison. It used to be known as the Quest Migration Manager before Dell bought Quest. https://awinish.wordpress.com/2011/10/04/quest-and-admt-comparison/ Our environment is large and local support for AD varies from one area to another so this seemed like the best choice for us. I know there are other tools out there that may do a great job too.

I think I grabbed the newer download and didn't realize it since the actual version number stays the same. They could have bumped to 3.21 or something but oh well, I do have it. I put in a sales request to Dell yesterday for their toolset, haven't heard back yet. Out of curiosity, what made you go with the Dell tool over the MS one?

We have purchased the Dell migration tools and done a couple of tests. It's a pretty nice tool. We have not yet started actual migration, and I'm guessing I'll learn more as we migrate people, workstations and servers.

I'm looking into this more, and the big worry I'm getting is just how old/end of lifed this tool looks. The latest version I'm seeing is 3.2, which supports 2008R2 (and just SQL 2008) but no higher. Does ADMT work on newer operating systems/AD environments and MS just doesn't tell anybody? Or, if you're in a newer environment than 2008R2 are you kind of just SOL? I still need to look into the Dell migration tool, are there any others out there? Thanks.
