Christmas comes now for companies using Microsoft's MFA Server who want to upgrade to the next generation Azure MFA.
Microsoft has unveiled its new Azure MFA Server Migration Utility to make migrating to the next generation Azure MFA smoother and easier. The Azure MFA, Microsoft's new flagship MFA server, is designed to provide lower TCO, simpler deployment and better security than the MFA Server. Read this Microsoft article to get more details on the Server and Migration Utility.
What is the Azure MFA Server Migration Utility?
The Azure MFA Server Migration Utility is a tool designed to assist administrators in migrating users from on-premises MFA Server to Azure MFA. It allows for the seamless transfer of user authentication data stored on-premises directly into Azure AD without requiring any re-registration or action from end users.
What are the benefits of migrating to Azure MFA?
Migrating to Azure MFA provides several benefits, including lower total cost of ownership (TCO), simpler deployment, enhanced security, and access to a wider range of features. Additionally, it allows organizations to retire their on-premises MFA Server and the associated ADFS deployment.
How does the migration process work?
To migrate users, an admin needs to select the Azure AD group containing the users to be migrated, define the registered MFA methods to be moved, and then click 'Migrate Users.' The process is straightforward and does not require any changes to tenant or federation settings, making it low-risk for testing.
