First start and import AD (Admin Client)


Storing the Active Directory information in the migRaven Database serves, among other things, as a prerequisite for accounts and users within the migRaven Assign role system and resolve file server resource permissions.

One of the central roles in migRaven is the migRaven Administrator, who has the responsibility to manage different responsibilities of different roles. In addition, this role gets over the migRaven.24 / 7 Web Client, a holistic overview of the current situation in your file server structure.

Note: If there are several domain controllers and domains, the response times may be longer than usual. It is possible before the scan of the Active Directory, in the configuration, to specify a primary DC for obtaining the AD information. You can find corresponding instructions here.

After successful installation of the migRaven open the migRaven adminclient via the shortcut on the desktop (1) or the Start menu (2).

The prerequisite for opening the Admin Client is that the migRavenADScanServiceHost service user local administrator on the migRaven Server & Hosting at a hunt.

1. Read Active Directory


When starting the migRaven Admin Customers It is initially necessary that you import an Active Directory (3).


Click on the to add Add buttons (4).


Open the drop down menu and select the server you want the AD to be scanned from (5) and then select Discover (6).


You get an overview of all identified domains in your environment.

Highlight the domains you want in migRaven want to read in (7) and save the selection (8).

Attention: If you authorize across domains, but do not scan all relevant domains, you will be shown in the migRaven unnecessarily orphaned permissions are displayed, affectionately known as unresolved SIDs.


You will then get a list of the added ADs and have to scan them (9).


After the scan is complete and all the data in the migRaven Database have been saved, you get the status Save finished (10)

You can add more domains or import existing domains at any time.

2. Set up an automatic scan of the domain

We recommend that you automate the domain scan in order to keep the database and the information it displays in the migRaven.24 / 7 Web Client always kept up to date.


To do this, open the planning menu (11) in the action column next to the desired domain.


Enable scheduling of daily automatic scan (12).
Choose a scan time that does not stand in the way of any other job in your area (13), please also note the UTC time.
Save the regular scan schedule (14).

After saving the regular scan, you will be shown the local time of the scan.

In the next step of configuring the migRaven should migRaven administrators be determined. You can find out how to configure this in the help article migRaven Roles and rights.
