Use Case: SharePoint User Migrations in Bulk

  
  
  

A common SharePoint scenario: You are restructuring your SharePoint environment, migrating users to a new Active Directory domain, or you may just be modifying the names of Active Directory users or groups. In either scenario, when users need a new login name, the STSADM command to migrate users falls short, requiring you to manually enter users one by one. 

For organizations with hundreds or thousands of users, one by one is simply not an option. Axceler ControlPoint lets you perform a bulk migration of end users, moving everyone from your old domain to their account under the new domain. As shown in the screen shot below, using wildcards you can migrate all users in the respective domain at once. This operation provides a quick and easy way to move all SharePoint users to the new domain.

Migrate users in bulk with ControlPoint

You may also use the text boxes to simply change a login name for a specific user. For example, a user named Margaret Mead (AxcelerDomain\MargaretMead) was recently married, and you need to change the login AxcelerDomain\MargaretBateson. ControlPoint provides a method to make these explicit changes one at a time, or in bulk. Additionally, ControlPoint gives you the option to remove any existing permissions for target accounts already in the new domain. Overall, ControlPoint will migrate users quickly and properly under multiple scenarios.
