CopyRight2 Active Directory Migration Solution

With CopyRight2 you can migrate Active Directory users (including passwords), groups (including members), distribution lists (including members), contacts, organizational units and containers. The product supports all existing types of Active Directory groups, no matter if it is local, global, universal, security or distribution list groups.

CopyRight2 can be installed on any computer, preferably on a domain controller of the source or the destination domain. Once the software is installed, it can be used right away to define and interactively run migration jobs or schedule jobs for background execution at a specified time.

In case there is a problem using the software, you can contact Sys-Manage's support at any time. Our experienced support engineers have helped thousands of customers to complete their migrations successfully. You can contact us at any time using email or by telephone.

CopyRight2 allows you to migrate...

• ...all accounts from the source Active Directory.
• ...accounts selected from the Active Directory tree.
• ...accounts provided in a specified input text file.
• ...accounts returned from a LDAP query, by specifying a query root and a query filter condition.

CopyRight2's attribute in- and exclusion list allows you to define which attributes you want to migrate by object class type. You can also provide an empty attribute list, in which case all class specific attributes defined in the Active Directory schema will be copied.

Using CopyRight2 you can migrate accounts into the default "Users" container or into a specified container, optionally while retaining the original OU and container hierarchy structure.

CopyRight2 can migrate the permissions set on any Active Directory Objects, such as users, groups, contacts, distribution lists, organizational units and containers. It migrates the permissions (DACL), auditing information (SACL) and the owner.

You can schedule any migration jobs to run automatically in the background at specified intervals. Receive email notifications for the job in case of success and/or error.

You can define scripts, based on the object class, executed for each migrated object, allowing you to very easily "transform" migrated objects in case you need to make adjustments to any attribute values. For example you could use the following line of VBScript code to add the prefix "PREFIX_" to migrated object's "samAccountName" attribute: Destination("samAccountName")="PREFIX_" & Source("samAccountName")

CopyRight2 supports Windows sidHistory Active Directory attribute to separate the account migration from the resource migration and computer roll-out. Using this feature allows migrated user and group accounts to access resources still located in the source environment having permissions for the original source accounts only. Beyond that, you can use CopyRight2 to reassign NTFS and file share permissions to use the migrated new accounts and to cleanup the sidHistory attribute once it is no longer needed. Interforest migrations If the source and destination domain are located in different domain forests, you create a clone of each source user or group in the destination domain, having the sidHistory attribute set to the corresponding SID of the original account. Intraforest migrations If the source and destination domain reside in the same forest, for example a parent <-> child domain relationship, the user and group accounts will be moved between the source and destination domain, causing accounts to get a new SID, but also having the sidHistory attribute set to the corresponding SID of the original accounts. You can find more information about using the sidHistory attribute in the CopyRight2 Documentation.

It is, however, not a requirement to use the sidHistory attribute with CopyRight2. You can also directly migrate user and group accounts and reassign NTFS and file share permissions of any data on-the-fly while copying or by processing permissions without moving data.
