Migrating Windows Devices from AD to 探花大神
You can migrate your Active Directory (AD) OnPrem Windows devices to your 探花大神 org while keeping them protected and secure. From a high level, to do so:
- Create the policies you need for your devices in 探花大神.
- Bind the 探花大神 policies to all of the AD On Prem Windows devices in scope.
You may receive error messages regarding the following policies:
- Rename Local Administrator Account
- Enable/Disable Local Administrator Account
- Rename Local Guest Account
- Enable/Disable Local Guest Account
This is expected behavior, because the device is still bound to Active Directory at this time.
- Unbind the devices from Active Directory.
