A governed control plane for hybrid directory migration.
BridgeAD connects planning, operator action, on-premises execution, and evidence without hiding workload maturity or migration risk.
Five stages. One decision trail.
Every stage has an owner, inputs, validation criteria, and evidence. BridgeAD is designed to make exceptions and rollback decisions visible instead of reducing migration to a copy button.
Built around decisions migration teams make repeatedly.
Availability depends on deployment and engagement scope. Supported features can enter onboarding after configuration; controlled-pilot features require APQOR oversight and explicit rollback criteria.
- Connection validation
Source AD, target AD, and Entra ID connection setup with explicit permissions. - Read-only discovery
Inventory OUs and directory objects before committing migration scope. - Object mapping
Automatic and manual mappings, CSV import/export, duplicate checks, and validation. - Dry-run planning
Test assumptions before the first controlled execution wave. - On-premises agent
One outbound-only agent per connected domain in common topologies. - Operational control
Job status, recovery paths, live updates, health, and metrics endpoints. - Governance
Role-based access, MFA expectations, role-change traceability, and session revocation. - Audit evidence
Hash-chain verification, correlation IDs, and exportable operational records.
Place each component where it belongs.
The control plane coordinates work. The agent performs directory operations from the customer network. Cloud workloads require approved outbound access to the relevant Microsoft APIs.
SaaS or self-hosted
Portal, job orchestration, configuration, reporting, audit metadata, and operator access.
Customer network agent
Outbound HTTPS to BridgeAD and customer-approved LDAP access to domain controllers.
Source and destination
Directory and approved cloud APIs remain authoritative for migrated content and objects.
