Laplink Software announced its PCmover Enterprise solution now supports local Active Directory profile migrations to Azure Active Directory users.

This is something that is not currently supported by Microsoft and IT professionals can now leverage PCmover Enterprise to streamline local Active Directory profile transfers and save hours of time per new PC deployed or per existing PC joined to Azure Active Directory.

Without extensive customization, USMT does not easily support user profile migration on existing devices, which is necessary when transitioning these devices from Active Directory to Azure Active Directory.

Laplink has addressed a key point of friction compared to using USMT for those 250 million users: IT professionals can now leverage PCmover to transfer data between existing profiles on PCs moving from a local Active Directory to Azure Active Directory in addition to speeding up deployment of new PCs whether or not joined to Azure AD. FLEXAMIT, a cloud-focused IT provider based in Belgium, is an advocate of PCmover.

"We've heard from many IT professionals that migrating local Azure Active Directory profiles is a major pain point in managing PCs, which are a significant asset and investment for their businesses," said Thomas Koll, Laplink Software CEO. "By adding support for Active Directory to Azure Active Directory Profile migration to PCmover Enterprise, we're solving this problem and freeing up valuable time for the IT department."
