A leading SEBI registered Category-I Merchant Banker required Objects Migration from one Domain to another Domain. LDS Infotech successfully migrated the objects successfully ensuring zero downtime.

Client Profile – The client is a leading SEBI registered Category I Merchant Banker. They wanted to shift from one domain to a newer domain and hence wanted the migration to be done. LDS Infotech successfully migrated all client users.

Situation – There were 2 domains of which the earlier domain was on Windows Server 2003. A new domain was created which was on Windows Server 2012 R2 and the objects migration was to be done from the old domain to the new domain.

The two domain being different versions hybrid migration was a challenge. Trust building between the 2 domains was essential before starting the migration. Also some of the users were using older version of OS which was again a challenge to migrate.

Solution – LDS successfully provided the resolution by using tools like ADMT tool 3.2 and doing activities like trust building between the two domains, Security account creation, policy creation, SID filtering, user migration, computer migration and security migration. Once migration was completed testing and handover to the client was done.

Result – The migration was totally successful as zero downtime was ensured. The project was completed within the stipulated time frame and client objectives were met.
